Angry still smoking

the cycling of glow plugs did nothing. the engine smokes worse when its cold (engine not ambient temp outside). it really doesn't get that cold in houston. the problem occurs after the truck has been setting (overnight) and acts like its flooded. i was wondering if it could be an injector possibly leaking down or the icp regulator. what do ya'll think?
