I am sure others will add on but.

rough idle when you start it up.

a bit of white smoke at start too.

These would indicate slight leak so when you fiorst start you have some extra fuel in a cylinder and get the smoke and rough idle.

good luck.

Long Crank / Hard Start
Injector bleeds down and Rail can't build enough pressure to fire injectors.
