Mazda Familia Engine Problem

Hi my car surges and hesatates some times when i go to take off from the lights ETC.
Most recent we were driving along and the engine just died and lost all power we hade to come to a complete stop and try start the engine again it took quite a bit and blew heaps of black smoke it went fine for around 70KMs then done it again and now it seams to be fine again. Have you got any ideas or heard of this before ? We have alson taken it to a mazda shop and thay had on idea but still charged us $190 thow.
Thanks Tony
