[DML] Still a starting problem



Okay guys, I am once again stuck on a problem that I cannot seem to
fix. Here's the details: New fuel pump and chk valve, accumulator is
tested OK, injectors cleaned in April or around there, no fuel leaks,
s/s braided lines from distributor to injectors and etc. When I go to
start my car- right after I turn it off (within 10 mins)- it will
crank and, shortly after, will start up and idle. When I drive my car
and go try to start it around 30mins-5 hours or overnight, it will
crank for a very long time and fail to start or even turn over.
Sometimes after overnight trying to start it, it will eventually turn
over and misfire for a few moments and then begin to clear up and run
fine. Anytime after I crank it and finally get it to start, I get a
good amount of greyish smoke coming from the tail pipe which will then
clear after a few moments. I've used a can of start spray after a
while of cranking and it seems to help, also I've used the hot start
quick fix and it seems to sometimes work. My car has never been like
this, only within the last few months it's been doing this to me. My
question is where do I
look next? I've checked out the tank, lines, changed the fuel filter,
made sure everything with the baffle was good, and so on. I can't tell
if its getting too much fuel/not enough, a poor ignition system (again
everything has been replaced ie. wires, cap, rotor,  etc etc.). I
don't smell any fuel back near the engine after cranking/nor is any
dripping from my exhaust pipe so I don't
think it is getting flooded. If anyone can tell me where to dig next,
I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks guys, Dani B 5003 (finally back from
Vacation)
