Sounds like a dead MAF or Lambda Sond (o2 sensor). Your engine's running way too rich (a bad MAF will cause your engine to over fuel). A scan should be your first port of call. In the meantime, I wouldn't keep driving the car, bore wash due to excessive fuelling can cause irreversible damage. Damage that will mean either a rebore and oversize pistons.

Or a new engine altogether.

Oga siena the problem is that I need to make an urgent and important trip benin this weekend and I have to go with the car, I returned the car to the place of purchase and they called their mechanic , the guy saw the car and said the Air flow meter should be changed...

bunmifx: check the Airflow meter
