I've heard that if you run your AC over 2 and you have a power fc it can mess with stuff. 
But then I am not that familiar with your symptoms or the finite details of the PFC. Just throwin some ideas out there.

Update......Took her out again. Put it in the driveway and popped the hood. The coolant system is bubbling like crazy. It sounds like I am frying eggs on the UIM. Its gurggling and making strange noises. I thought I had a bad coolant seal but I am not loosing coolant and I haven't seen the buzzer in over a week. All my lines are connected from what I can see. She is driving okay right now. A little slower but still has power. However the idle is really really low.

Right now it is at 13PSI and bucks a little while and a few seconds later goes to about 400rpms. When I take it out the VAC goes up and so does the idle. But I have to warm it up a little before anything happens.
I am about 5 seconds away from taking the UIM off and just checking everysingle hose. I am just so damn tired And hungover

I figured that would be another indication also. I had a friend tell me he saw black smoke coming out of my muffler when I was pushing it. But I would expect that since I have no cats and a ported engine. I have noticed I am using quite a bit of fuel though in the last few days. Not by much but maybe losing 2-3mpg
I'd take out your plugs, maybe one or some are fouled, when was the last time you replaced them? Especially if you are spitting black smoke, you can foul them easily. I'd check the plugs and wires...
edit: i see 5 days.. still, you can foul plugs in 10 min.

yeah black smoke under accel is just fuel... normal if you are running really rich.

don't rule your plugs out, then can foul easily.. my friend was replacing his plugs every time he filled up for gas...he was running really rich as well.. just check them, no sense in ruling them out if its been 6 days.
