Check the idle air control (or bypass) valve. Crud can build up in the valve creating problems.
Run EEC-IV self-tests (see www.dalidesign.com/hbook/eectest.html) and see if the computer sees any issues. FYI you don't have a check engine light to light up when the computer sees a fault, so you have to "ask" the computer if it sees/has seen a fault.

when you instaled the new flex plat check to see if you broke the ground wire from the back of the pasenger side head i beleive it will be an orange wire, if that wire gets broke it will send a reading to the computer that the o2 sensor and the tpi senser is bad it will idel rough and blow black smoke and act like it is flooding out.
