Try cleaning your air filter and slow running adjustment screws on throttle bodies.

Looks like a rich running motor. Causes: incorrect fuel mixture, wrong plug grade (too cool), blocked air air filter, sticking choke (although unlikely on a fuel injected engine). Short runs - not allowing the engine to reach it's full operating temp.
Also worth checking the cat code plug hasn't been removed, some dealers take them out in a misguided attempt to stop engine surging
