Starting problem

[tigerpm7]

Hi all. I drive a VZ 6cyl auto. This morning I hoped into the car and it just wouldn't start. It was ticking over, coughing & splattering and then after around 5 goes it started with a bit of acceleration. It blew heaps of light blue smoke for around 3 seconds then all was fine. Started no probs. What could it have been?

You could try the fuel pressure regulator. Ours went and the car would turn over for 5-10 seconds before firing.
