02 .8 Smokey on cold start up - Scanton
I have a 2002 Daewoo matiz that has a strange defect, when you start it up from cold e.g. standing overnight (even this summer) it belches out smoke for abot 3 seconds to a minute, after that its fine and runs smothly without problems at all even if I stop and start again within a houtr or two, but if I leave it for a good length of time or over night it just belches out smoke again.

This is an embarasment more than anything and if I reve the engine a little to try and clear it I smoke out the street. Have you any idea what could be causing this or what i need to check to track it down?

What colour smoke? If its blue its quite a common thing for the valve stem seals on these to give trouble.
