Poor running, excess fuel consumption, black smoke....

if ya got a garage stick it in there and WITH THE DOOR OPEN !!!!!!, allow it to run for 5 mins, then when ya go back in there, if ya start to cry for no reason then its running rich, my old erst in the garage would make me have to run out the garage with me eyes closed and i got a complaint from a neighbour above me garage as she choked in her bed room at 2am due to the fueling being soo rich

now this is gonna sound stupid but have ya tried to take it to a tuner to get them to set it up, thats usually the best thing to do and see what they tell ya is wrong, costs 80 quid and ya car will either run mint or get told where the problem is
