Default Check Engine Light, erractic idle /Revs & Black smoke...

AHHH The 95WRX Has striked again:
Driving home yesterday, the car soemtimes struggle to accererate /move / hit revs etc.. but I thought it was just cold,

But driving home today, came to some lights and revs started to go awoh and the cehck engine light came on.

I parked up staright away and the revs were just jumping up and down.

Switched it off and restarted and it didnt run.

So waited for 5 mins and it started again but engine light still on and revs still going metal.

I eventually strugglued home hopping and skipping(i think poss in limp mode)

But am concerned. There was also a glair of balck somke out of the exhaust.

Its a 95 WRX with decat s/s exhaust.

I put in vpower fuel.

Any ideas, I would be VERY grateful.

thanks

Jon
