Default Longer to start then black smoke

Hi

250 Kilometers on the odometer. i.e. 125K Miles.
It has been running fine (It used to start the same second I crank it.) till one cold early morning, Cranked till killed the battery, Jump start "cranking" finally started with a good size buff of black smoke. Took it to work, Started fine every time.
Again same thing happened next day, Battery tested OK.

Left it for few hours, the longer I leave it the longer it takes cranking before it starts and blows the black smoke.

When I turn the key on, the dashboard light "Wait To Start" comes on/off "cycles and I could hear clicking" for few times before it becomes ON solid, then I start it.

What would be the most efficient course of action?

many thx







thx
Sam

1 ohm?
do I need to remove them? i.e. disconnect and ohm test feed to ground wouldn't do?
