Injector Issue
Lately I've been having what seems like and injector issue. For awhile my car has been having trouble starting in the morning when it's been sitting for awhile especially when it's cold which at first led me to believe it was a coolant seal failure but then I noticed that it didn't smell sweet when i would start the car and the smoke would be white but it would go away as soon as the car started. So back to the main question, are my injectors are going bad or are they just dirty and would sending them out to be cleaned solve my problem? (Sorry for the long post but I figured I would give some background on the issue lol).

While an injector cleaning can't hurt (it's probably never been done) I doubt that is the cause.
When is the last time the car received a simple tune up? Check the ECT sensor to make sure it's reading correctly.
How's compression?

I haven't checked the compression yet, I wasn't too worried because it has 117k, even though I that shouldn't be used as indicator alone though for this. As for the tune up I just replaced the sparkplugs, the air filter was still fine and I didn't replace any of the hoses.
