the rythmic swaying sounds like one dead cylinder to me... pull the injectors and do a compression test.
you may also want to crack the injector lines while it's idling and see if any pots fail to alter the idle...
black smoke is incompletely burned fuel... air filter clogged? has the alda been adjusted?
if the thing is swaying, your motor mounts are in need of replacement. shocks too.
