1st is when i start it it revs up hard i have the idle screw right in i cant pick up any air leaks
2nd when i took it for a spin around the yard it idles like it has a big lumpy cam when in drive

Have you got the correct dip stick.....they had an orange rubber seal on the stick.
Is the airflow meter working properly???
Is the coolant temp sensor OK????

Also check the rocker cover gasket and the EGR valve for leaks.
ANY vacuum leak on the XF EFI system will make it run really really rich.

They use an ISC on the rocker cover - sounds like it has issues.

Throttle Position Sensor perhaps?- would explain the black smoke

Had a similar problem with my zl efi coupla years back and knowing nothin about efi i asked a mate who said it was the fuel regulator which is on the firewall end of the fuel rail i bought a 2nd hand one (cheap as) fitted it up and sweeet problem solved! :D - apart from a cracked fuel rail, big hands no room no patience :wink: but give it a go mine just went no warning
