I am getting a little poof of smoke at start up lately.
It tends to go away after about 30 seconds or so.

Probably valve seals are bad.

Could also be cold weather condensation or even an injector leaking down when it is shut off. What color is the smoke and any odor?

That would mean you should replace the injectors right?

You know, it does kinda smell like fuel. The color, I think it was kinda white/gray?:doh:

Luckily my car started running crappy... popped in new fuel injectors and the start up smoke went away and the car runs better than new. You probably wont be able to find original injectors.. and if you do .. dont. Go with Bosh aftermarket one from Fuel Injector Connection.

Totally agree with doctorsaid....the bosch design lll injectors are the way to go HANDS DOWN!!!
We are finding that the bosch lll's have become our most popular injector not only for corvette/camaro...but for most domestic applications. They are virtually "trouble free". Never had a complaint or return. We receive all positive feedback on them.
Our bosch lll's are a direct fit for TPI,,, No modifications necessary for fitment.

I will get mine from you all soon then, I just thought that you all just sold "knock off" injectors. No offense!

bad valve guide seals! Highly recommend spending $100 dollars and sticking some comp valve springs in it since your going to take them off anyway!
