    Smoke only comes out for the a few seconds when it starts up. after that nothing at all.

      I would guess a sticking injector. a fuel pressure bleed down test would confirm this

          do what HBHRacing said. if your injectors are leaking. it will fill the engine with fuel and cause hard starts and a short period of smoke.

              my sister's car is hard to start too but i think its just because of the cold,it always started fine until latly when its only like 10 degree's out.never thought it could be fuel injectors or pressure regulartor. hmm
