Recently the distributor, timing belt, the waterpump and computer has been replaced. Engine starts but will die thereafter, than it will restart fine. Problem is a lot of black smoke is coming out the exhaust. It is consuming a lot of gas. Coulb it be the fuel pressure regulator or faulty injector. Before repair it runs fine. Please help, anyone has any idea what is happening?

Assuming the computer is right, the plug wires are properly routed (you should double check) and the base timing is properly set, it sounds like it could be the fuel pressure regulator.
