How long will a distributor assembly and air flow meter last?

Question:
I have a 1998 car with nearly 80,000 km mileage. My mechanic said the distributor assembly and air flow meter had to be replaced in order to solve the black smoke and ignition problem. They are extremely costly. He asked for $750 inclusive of labour and non genuine parts (the distributor assembly is even a used one).

Answers:

I cant start up my car, the dashboard shows the "engine gas temperature" icon?

A mass air flow sensor can be cleaned with carb cleaner. Could be oxygen sensor. I think you are being lied too.
