Coming home on the motorway today stopped in traffic as per, then out the blue rev limit shoots upto 3k then drops to nothing then stalls. So try and restart but it just sounded like it was flodded. Tried again and was real rough and bumpy then shot out a nasty plume of black smoke from the exhaust. After that it kept idiling at 1k (usually 900) then upon lifting the cluth it would drop the revs almost stall then shoot more black smoke!
Any ideas?
