Condensation + heat = steam ... perfectly normal and MUCH betterer than the carbon-rich carp they throw out on p****l :roll:

Instead of foot to the floor winding it over, try this..
Press foot to floor and release
Turn on ignition so ignition lights come on, wait for the click from the gass control unit, turn ignition off and then on againa and start.. it ought to fire up with only a small amount of throttle then..

As said, if the "smoke" dissipates quickly and doesnt linger then it isnt smoke...
