Default rough start and black smoke!

i have a 94 ex with the d16z6 engine. I only had the car about a month. I did not start the car for a few days, when i tried it would not start. It would catch for a second then bog down and die. When i finaly got it to start i had to pump the gas for about a minute to keep it from shutting off and sputtering. Once it did start there was a small amount of black smoke coming out of the tail pipe. Any one have any ideas on what might have caused the car to start and sputter like that? and also what could be the cause of the black smoke? thanks for the help

Default Re: rough start and black smoke!

looks like you're running too rich.....and the plugs are probably fouled by now which would explain the hard start...
