Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Disconnected MAP hose will cause the signal voltage to go way up (atmospheric pressure), telling the ECU that the throttle is wide open hence the black smoke and excessive fuel consumption.
This usually fouls the plugs.
You could try removing them and cleaning them (sand the gap them wash with carb cleaner) but replacement is better. You may be lucky and get it started but usually any attempt ends up with a hot starter motor and a dead battery.
FYI
There is no way that blowing black smoke could be an oxygen sensor, on any car. If the sensor fails the ECU just runs in open loop as when the engine is warming up.

it's definately not starting, I even tried the flat to the floor because i thought I may have flooded it but still nothing.

hey everyone this is my first post on this site..
having problems with my 1989 VN Commodore it starts but idles bad, its running on all 6 and when i put it in another gear like drive or reverse it almost stalls and sounds like its thirsty for petrol this only happened after i tried cranking the engine over without much fuel in it, i understand the fuel pump can stuff up doing that, but after putting petrol in it it still starts fine ? just runs really bad, and smells like petrol also black liquid most likely condensation mixing with exhaust fumes is coming out the exhaust PLEASE HELP cheers also blows out a decent amount of black smoke.
replaced O2 sensor an now it's all good cheers mate! , wondering anyone else have this problem i replaced the thermostat and thermostat housing and when i squeeze any of the hoses, i can here the thermostat moving around ?
My VS would drop out of closed loop as soon as the O2 sensors cooled off.What about your VR? At idle your VR does NOT use O2....
....post 2 asked about codes...did you check codes?
Injectors? They will be fine.I had a mate come over and look at it and he says the same thing, he showed me how to check them so I'll go through them all tomorrow morn, I'm out of daylight now.. it's definately not starting, I even tried the flat to the floor because i thought I may have flooded it but still nothing. I believe whole heartedly that they set me up.. that's why I never usually use mechanics. They see a chick walk through the door and think they can walk all over me.. thanks heaps for your help I will update tomorrow once I have checked the injectors
