What led you to the injectors? You know they didn't all fail at once. GM has a lot of injector problems but they almost always flow too little fuel. Black smoke is a sign of burning too much fuel. Usually that is because the Engine Computer is commanding too much fuel based on incorrect sensor readings. A sensor can partially fail and not set a diagnostic fault code, but most of the time a code will be set and the Check Engine light will turn on. Did you check for fault codes? If you did, what were they?

Is this the description you came up with? I've never run into this code before.
