You may have a glow plug or two burned out, that would cause the smoking and rough idle when cold. An easy way to test them is to hook a test light to the positive terminal of your battery then unplug each glow plug and touch the tip of your test light to the tip of each glow plug. If the light lights the glow plug is good, if not it's junk. As far as the voltage flicker, it's the glow plug relay cycling and it's 100% normal.
