the best way i can put it is this: some smoke is not necessarily abnormal if the engine has some real mileage on it - especially since you're saying it clears up pretty quickly.

however, in the event that something is actually wrong ...
when did it start?
what color?
how does it smell?
has it been more difficult to start since the smoking began?

Since its an 89 and you have to floor it, your cutting the injectors off, so that tells me your flooding, easiest thing is a compression check, than if that checks out good, get the injectors serviced
