Default RST Running issues when warm

My Rst is spitting out black smoke and coughing when ever it starts to get warm once it gets to running temp the whole car will cut out. It runs as normal when cold. Does anyone know how to solve this issue as i need to get my car back on the road.

Overfuelling mate, thats why it's fine when cold (needs extra fuel for cold stat/running), black smoke is a dead gice away
