01 ram 1500 5.2L. Really hard start in the AM. Smells rich/ blue smoke while feathering gas to get running. Once warm, no probs all day. Have already ran diagnostic and no codes thrown. Replaced fuel pump, dist. Cap and rotor, coolant temp sensor. Out of options

I would be tempted to plug a scanner in, and see what the PCM thought engine temp was, first thing in the morning.... Sounds like it is getting too much fuel.
