Default Car smokes when started???

My car smokes a little when it cold starts.. Not much just for a few seconds..

Well my car has been sitting for 2 weeks with a bad clutch. Today I started it up and it smoked like a chimney for about 20 seconds.

It runs very rough when it smokes like this..
It doesn't use any oil, almost positive it is fuel. Thats what my tuner says. It is due to the big cam. MS3!

Any reason why it would smoke more after sitting for 2 weeks??



Thanks

Valve seals.

True, you may not be burning oil. But it doesn't take much oil leaking past the seals to make a pretty nice blue puff on startup.

X2. If it clears up after startup this is your most likely culprit. Good time to do springs if you need'em....
