Went to start the Xsara this morning, it poured black smoke out the back and smelt heavily of fuel. I shut it down and tried again, this time when I revved to 3000rpm the car just died. Took it to the mechanic (on the way there there was a heavy fuel smell), he couldn't see, hear or smell anything unusual about it, and the check engine light didn't come on.
Mechanic thought it could be something to do with the cold start circuitry. Any ideas as to what it could be?
Thanks in advance.
