Default Rough start this morning

I haven't driven the Vette in a few weeks, and decided to drive it to work. When I first started the car up I noticed a little haze from the exhaust, and a very strong fuel smell from the exhaust like it was running really rich. After a few seconds the car was running smoothly at idle again.

Is this normal? The last time I moved it, I just pulled it out of the garage to wash it, and moved it back afterwards.

I'm no expert but you could have a leaky injector.

I replaced my injectors last year with brand new Accell injectors. The exact ones Marc Haibeck recommends. Also all the ignition components have been replaced. Like I said the car ran great outside of that.

It could be nothing. I remember when the C4 corvettes came out I was working a a dealership and they moved them in and out every day. It created all kinds of problems because the cats didn't get up to operating temperature. Just keep an eye (nose) on it. It just gives you a reason to take it for a spin to "air dry" it after a wash.
