Check the ficm main power after cold start. Min 45 volts. Low ficm voltage can create black smoke and cylinder contribution codes

If you have a 611 code, that is pretty well game over for the FICM. It likely is what is causing your injector code as well. If you can afford the downtime, ship it on over and we'll get you going again. If downtime can't be handled, we can also take care of you on exchange.

Sorry to hear you're having issues!
