FICM test procedure

The white smoke on long cranking was mentioned. I have that problem now. I plug the truck in and it starts most of the time but when it's unplugged and under 25*, forget it. Lots of cranking and white smoke. THe truck even takes a few rotations to start when warm. I just replaced my starter from being an idiot and over cranking too much. I read that the injectors could be sticking (one or some or all) and that causing the issue too. My FICM doesn't go below 47.6 in any of the positions and I checked all the solder connections as well as the components inside. Looks great. I think I'm planning injectors and go with new GP's and module anyways. What could the problem be with the white smoke? I'm thinking either/or the injectors/GP's but leaning to the injectors.
Thanks

FICM testing
Great place for info - trying to diagnose cold start on the 2004 F350 6.0 L - have replaced the glow plugs yesterday..of course there was nothing wrong with them - today have learned about the FICM from the threads...the trouble started with the temperature at -10 degrees celsius (2 days ago)
the question is
1. Must the engine be COLD for the test?
2. How long for each check - key on/eng off cranking and running
On the first test - key on/eng off - getting a reading that drops rapidly...
Thanks for the help
