I've got a 98 12v. In the morning or after sittin for a extended period of time. In second gear right before 2000 rpms, It will studder and puff white smoke. It just does it once and then Its back to normal. Do you think it could be air in the fuel lines or what. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

 

Mine does it too and has since the day I got it...

I've learned to accept it, but maybe someone here knows the answer...

I'm assuming you have a 5 speed?

 

same here... since my 97 was New

 

My guess is that the head is still cold and can't burn the fuel until it gets to temp.

 

Same here on my 97 only in the winter time maybe every once and a while in the morning before sunrise.

 

Mine still does that a little when its cold, but a new overflow valve helped out quite a bit

I got mine a new OFV

its actually when it started. i have yet to put back the old one, i might tho and stretch its spring before i do tho..

Mine only does it once in the morning when its cold,every so often it does it once at nite to when its been parked for a few hours.... the rest of teh day it turns on no problem....

I'd put my $$$ on a small leak in the fuel return lines letting a bit of air in.
