Truck is a little rough on intital start and rich smelling.
Hi Guys,
Truck is running pretty good with new engine but I'm having a little issue. On the initial start it sounds like its choking a bit then some smoke comes out the exhaust a bit and smells really rich. Once it's on and starts idling it runs fine, but that initial start always chokes a bit.
I was thinking maybe spark plugs or o2's?
Any ideas?

I still went ahead last night and replaced the IAC under warranty and spark plugs to motorcraft platinum. Truck runs perfect as ever except for a lil smoke at inital start ups... I'm just going to keep cruising it and hopefully it will fix itself.
Thanks Shane.

'reconditioned' can mean ALOT of different things. IF it's a re-ring and hone job, there should be just a little bit of smoke for a little while. shoot...my chevy with the new engine still smokes pretty good. but...i could have messed up building it too. lol.
i'd wait for other opinions...but for now, keep rockin' it.

I noticed it again this morning when I started it... the smoke that comes out the exhaust is kinda blueish now that I've looked at it closer. Still runs fine though after it gets warmed up so I will definately keep rockin it.
Anyone else shine some light?
