Like i said she would has never had a problem starting untill i calibrated my TPS. I heard that once u calibrate ur TPS it would throw your base timing out.

I had a chevy for a while that would only smoke at startup, it was white and dissipated after running - it was just a simple valve seal issue. a little oil would seep into the combustion chamber and accumulate while it sat.

as far as the carb cleaner, i was under the assumption you ran it for a while and idled it after putting it back together.

kinda odd tho.... most of the vehicles i've worked on run in an 'open loop' status untill a certain temperature is reached.....generally a set of predetermined perameters....
