SOURCE: 1998 Infinity Q45

Hi, i would replace the air filter, make sure the air hose from the air filter to the intake is not kinked or blocked and check for vacuum leaks. If these are all fine, I would check the fuel pressure as it is possible the pump is weak and not supplying enough fuel.

SOURCE: why does my 1998 infinity q45 kills after idling for about 20 minutes, it will restart but blows out black smoke?

Black smoke means that it has gotten too much fuel from the intake. That is a sign that either the timing or valves are having issues. It could also be that the crank sensor is failing. The sensor controls the pulses to the ignition. There is also a cam sensor that might be having issues. It is curious that it is happening at idle. One of the causes could be heat.

It pours out black exhaust muffler

Black smoke is a sign of carbon and incomplete combustion. Too much gas is getting inside and constipating your engine.

If it is idling ok, then the anomaly is somewhere in the main jet metering system responsible for excessive gas going to combustion chamber.

Now starting when cold, it belches black smoke and runs very roug

Sounds like either the float level is too high, there is a problem with the float needle valve or the power valve is stuck. I'd take the carb off and either replace it or take it apart and check everything inside. If you do nothing, chances are it will either get worse or if it's a small piece of junk inside, it may clear up by itself...I'd take it apart. Since it's pretty new, if you are careful, likely you won't need a gasket kit.

ROUGH IDLE,WET SPARKPLUGS,KILLS

The Symptoms tell me it is a head gasket. A leaky or bad head gasket would cause all of the problems that you mentioned.

Burning water causes White Smoke, Burning Oil causes Black Smoke. The oil and water are mixing with the gas in the cylinders and causing it to run bad. Pull out the dipstick and look at the oil on it. Does it look like good oil? Or does it look watery and or foamy or grey colored. Open up the radiator and look inside, do you see oil?

This seems almost text book to me... I would have someone local to you to have a look at it to be sure.
