				Smoke When Cold Only?  M116
			 
			
			
			Hi all, 
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
		
			My buddy's 1983 380SEL (w126, 124k miles) is a bit smokey on start-up. After warming up a bit (I'd say right about the time it gets into closed-loop...if I can remember my lamda tutorial   ) smoke goes away entirely, not a whisp.  Runs just fine cold, idle doesn't stumble and starts w/o hesitation.  Uses no oil, no oil in water/compression in cooling system.Does this sound like an O2 sensor problem? Possibly a smog pump issue? Do they function together or off different temp sensors? I remember having his dash apart not too long ago and there not being a bulb in the O2 sensor dummy light hole. O2 sensor looks quite new, though. Any help? Thanks! -M-
