Pretty sure its not the lift pump, the engine would die instantly and there'd be no fuel there to make black smoke.
I'd say its air related but really odd that you drove off fine!
Was there any extra smoke when you drove away? Is your egr blanked?

Egr is blanked, yes
No extra black smoke when I drove off of anything its driving cleaner...
When the problem happened it wouldnt accelerate after it just blocked the throttle had to put over and restart the engine..

Sounds like you sucked a boost pipe flat or something, is your car tuned?

I would probably agree with dum dum
Check all your boost hoses. Make sure tthey're all nice and secure

I reckon its the penis sticker on the air box that's done it!!
