So I have a 1994 integra ls and almost every time I start my car it starts to smoke for 5 to 10 minutes and then stops, also the idle jumps back and forth starting at like 2400rpmsi had a tune up done a few weeks ago but it's still doing it.... all answers will help hopefully....

Might have some oil on the exhaust.

What color is the smoke? Any smell? Could be spark plug grommets or valve seals. Do you have a catch can setup?

Valve seals or spark plug o rings.

If it's white it's without a doubt going to eventually be a headgasket issue.

Iacv does not operate with coolant. All the coolant does is prevent the mech from freezing in cold weather.

Fitv does require coolant but there's no way it will actually enter the intake manifold.

No cel, the amount of Smoke is like if u open th the lid to a bbq and is coming out the exhaust. But as soon as my idle dies down it stops....

It's valve seals. The oil dies down after the engine reaches operating temp.

This causes the rubber on the valve seals to swell when warm and temporary seal. I'm sure there's smoke when your driving it.

Get them replaced ASAP.
