I have a '96 with a 1.8... When i first start my car it smokes (it's not condensation), as long as it sits there idle it continues to smoke... After you drive it for a mile or two the smoke clears up... What would cause this? Bad valve seats? Thanks for any help!

I think it's valve seals. I had the exact same issue. My car only smoked at start up and that was it. I had no idle probs or accel probs, the car actually ran really well. I just had the mech take it apart this week and he confirmed it was bad valve seals. I was doing a bit of building to my head anyway that's why I actually went ahead and fixed the seals. For the head removal and replacement I think he quoted me like $1200 but I won't know for sure until monday the 9th when I pick it up. I'll let you know.
