Subject: [s-cars] smoke, rough run on startup (intermittent)

Lately I have been experiencing an intermittent problem on startup.  Maybe
once a week when I start the car, it will barely run, bucking away at
300-500 rpm, belching out white smoke.  Usually this only lasts for a few
seconds, but Saturday it lasted about a minute.  Only happens on cold start.
Smoke smells like fuel.  Once the problem goes away, no more problem for the
duration of the drive.  I have noticed that my exhaust tips are black and
sooty.  Any ideas?

Any ideas?  Yes, I know the definitive cause.  Ed "Edweirdo" Walsh drove
your car @ //SFest...  d'oh.  Only known solution is to sell offending UrS
car and replace with another, similarly but differently disfunctioning car.
Avant preferably.
