Default hard starting

sooo this is kinda starting to **** me off. i have been trying to fix this for a month or 2... when my truck sits for 4 hours or more, it pops, and smokes white like crazy and runs rough for a minute, then after that it runs fine. i have replaced the ofv, every single inch of fuel line (pressure and return) in the truck. the injectors seem to be leaking a little bit, not much tho. thats next on my list. would that be the problem?

ok sooo im gonna go with injectors... my mechanic that used to work on my truck said he pop-tested them... which was about 4 months ago. but he also said he fixed my fuel leak... which wasnt true, so to fix this injector problem.... what has to be done?

pull the injectors and take a mini shop vac with small hose and suck everything out of the injector holes. that will make sure there is nothing in between the copper washers. that is what i did and there was a bit of crap in the holes. no leaks at all. just my 2 cents!
