Default Tough to start and a lot of black smoke

Hi,

I have a 1998 Montero which blows a lot of black smoke. It is also tough to start (if I don't press on the accelerator after ignition the engine coughs and dies). I had the oil changed less than 2 months ago (+ the spark plug changed).

Any tips on why this could be ? What should I be looking into.

Looking forward to your advice.
Thanks

Tony

Unplug the MAF sensor and try starting her up...could be a faulty MAF.
