Car emitting black smoke annd excessive fuel consumption
My 1992 500SEA is consuming so much fuel, idles fast stutters and emits black smoke after 15 -20 min and refuses to go faster than 30km. On even a slight uphill it nearly comes to a standstill while billowing smoke. Fuel consumption is about 70litres on 160km.
It was checked by a mechanic who diagnosed block fuel injectors. Within 2 weeks the problem occurred again.
I live in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Can someone please tell me what to do.

Unfortunately I became the owner of the car when my husband passed away. He bought the car at an Insurance Company auction in 1993.I have all the registration papers. The VIN No on the registration paper is JC22806 and the Engine number is JE23315

Thank you, I'm not a mechanic. We took it to, altogether 3 mechanics over the years, the first one sold his business, the 2nd one passed away and now the 3rd one is retiring. I took the car to the new owners and they could not fix the problem. So I have to find another mechanic who knows these cars, but they are few and far between.
