Message	I posted this b4, but no real answers and I'm on the rest of the day now. My car started last nite, I turn it on, it smoke black/gray heavily for about 30 seconds, then goes away and runs normal. This is a first, I just replaced the fuel filter, PCV's, spark plugs have 15k on them, got a pop charger, *have a R.main seal leak, and the idle is running at about 1300k, which is now odd..it was running at 7-800 before yesterday. Could AIV's, bad cats, something? What is your opinions...
