Black smoke from the exhaust is a sign of an overly rich fuel/air mixture. This can ruin your catalytic converter, plus it hurts your mileage, so get this repaired asap.
It should last the life of the car if you maintain the car as you should. Let the engine start running rich and do nothing to repair this condition and it will destroy the converter. But keep the engine tuned up and running as it should and you will never have to replace the converter. NEVER had a problem with my 1996 HONDA ACCORD engine and CATALYTIC CONVERTER needed to be replaced at 220,000 MILES.
White smoke = Coolant entering the combustion chamber Blue smoke = Oil burning Black smoke = Overly rich fuel/air mixture
Black smoke is an indication of an overly rich fuel/air mixture. Your check engine light should be on with this condition. You can ruin the O2 sensor and the catalytic converter if you do not get this repaired ASAP.
