well, black smoke is bad, i wouldn't drive around with black smoke for very long at all.

black indicates you're burning rich (too much fuel) and thus it (everything in general) will get much hotter than its supposed to, leading to things getting destroyed left and right.

pull the code from your OBD and see what it gives you.

but that grounding thing doesn't sound like it was a very good 'solution' at all
