The engine burn oxygen with petrol or diesel which is a combination of carbon and hydrogen. The exhaust gases should be carbon dioxide and water (H2O) in vapour form.
There will also be some incomplete combustion which means in stead of just carbon dioxide and water there will be some carbon monoxide and sometimes even carbon (soot). Carbon monoxide is very dangerous us, just small amounts will kill you.
While carbon dioxide on the other hand technically can't kill you, in high enough concentrations you can suffer carbon dioxide poisoning. Just like in a locked and air tight sealed room you'll die of carbon dioxide poisoning before you die if oxygen deprevation.
So it's down to inhaling the dangerous exhaust fumes. That'll cause you to pass out and then eventually kill you.
