My blazer was just recently sitting in the snow and i went to start it and move it out and i noticed it was blowing black on the snow when i reved it enough to try and move it. The engine runs fine and it wasn't makeing and funny noises or nothing and it turned over a little slow the first time i started it. I shut it off and started it again a couple times and it would then start fine no slow crank at all. Then i shut it off and then went to start it again but all it did was click and click, nothing. My temperature gauge read normal before i shut it off, but im worried it might have ceased up. I have oil in it, but i don't believe there was engine coolant. I didn't run it long enough to were it would get too hot though. Could you please tell me how i might be able to check if it's ceased? If not what might be the problem?

the black smoke indicates its running extremely rich. you may have hydro locked the engine by having cylinderfs full of gas. remove spark plugs and see if full of gas.
