Since it has gotten a little colder my truck has not been wanting to start.Went put yesterday morning and it would crank fine but not fire.Blew all kinds of pure white smoke out while it was cranking.Some even lingered in the tailpipe well after I gave up.Came home about and hr later and gave it another try and after about 3-4 tries it fired up.Still quite a bit of pure white smoke rolled out of it until it ran for about 30 sec.Any ideas.Truck has 126,000 orig miles on it.Even when it was warm it would blow some pure white smoke out when it would first fire.I don't drive the truck every day and sometimes it will sit for couple days between drives.
Having a hard time starting my 97.Lots of white smoke???

The white smoke is simply unburned fuel vapor. It will go away with working glow plugs.
