Computer issues??

Have a 94 f250 5.8 liter bought it awhile back and got it to start. the truck runs descent when cold. As soon as engine begins warming up it misses and chugs black smoke out and loses power.
Check engine light is on. Took it to a local garage and tried to get it scanned. For some reason it wont connect with the scanner.

Did a koeo test got several high voltage codes to map, act, tps, and coolant sensors. Attempted koer test and the test never began.

Talking to everyone I could think of, does this sound like the computer is fried?

Possible grounding issues.

Is there a shop that can actually test your computer? Dealer?

talked to a shop going to have them work on it, he gave me a couple things to try, no luck yet. Hopefully he can figure it out. he said it sounded like a wiring issue or a bad sensor.
