smoking on cold start

Well i have a question, when i cold start my car, and im in a hurry and start driving. if i get into the higher rpm's it smoke's horribly bad, but when it warms up it barely does it at all, and when i say it smoke's bad it smokes bad, and it smells seriously like a weed eater. But im not sure if it has something about to do with fuel, or something.

Don't quote me on this but it's worth a though. My guess is that while it's burning up any carbon build up. What kind of oil are you using? Most synthetics build up more carbon.

Also, another thought is that everything expands when they heat up allowing for better sealing. So if you also has worn seals, that could cause it to smoke more.

It's worth a shot, put a little ATF in the trailing spark plug holes to clean everything out. Then,make sure you use either a good conventional oil or something like royal purple or MAZDATRIX sells a good rotary oil.

Some people believe that ATF kills your seals so I'd do some research before doing it.
