    My Cat would always spit and shutter and smoke like crazy until it got warm. All colors smoke.It was a 92 425C with mechanical style ecm mounted fuel pump. I was always told don’t worry probably an injector cup leaking. When bad enough it will be hard to crank due to all the fuel on top of cylinder. I ran it years like that. The colder the start the worse it was. Once warmed up no problem.
