Default Cold Start ?

Since Wednesday morning I have been getting a decent amount of white smoak and a miss when starting after a cold soak. The only day I didn't get it was Thursday. Thursday was cool enough that I had to wait to start, after the light went out it fired up and ran fine, with little to no smoke. When it does do it, it will smooth out after 15-20 seconds and run fine. Fuel economy and power seem normal. Oil was ok at last check (Thursday). I have been running 16 oz PSD mixed with 8 oz MMO for several weeks now every fill up. 7500 miles on the clock. I have been going easy on it for two weeks to maximise fuel econonmy, so I figured blow it out. Friday I pulled the camper to the lake 40 miles through the hills and gave it a good workout. This morning when I started up to come home same problem. Should I be worried about injector issues, or am I making more out of it than needs be?

Default RE: Cold Start ?

your probably fine... mine does the same thing and I know there was a TSB on it for the older engines. If your still concerned, give the dealer a call and see what they say about it.
