It's running rich which means that to much gas is being put into the engine. And everything will stop working when the engine dies. Take it to a repair shop, it has issues with the fuel delivery system and it can cause damage if you continue to drive like this. Once they repair the issue you need to change the oil. It's most likely diluted with gas and won't have the the lubrication properties that it should have.
