White smoke does mean coolent is burning. but the fact that it goes away is a tricky one... id say it is intermittant EGR Cooler blown, or headgaskets. hard to tell. im leaning twoards a small blow in the headgaskets cause when an engine warms up from being cold the metal changes shape just slightly. maybe this slight change seals the headgasket from its blown state for a little while. got any more info? does it do it on the highway? hows your coolent look? low? high? crap all over the degas bottle? any modifications? problems before this? a little bit more can go a long way on this site.

You might check to see if you have the inductive flash. If it is stiction or a lazy injector this flash may help.

The fact that it goes away fairly quick, I'd tend to agree with tex., a leaky injector, witch could be caused by stiction like 69cj said. make sure you have the latest flash and try some hot shots secret, I've seen it work wonders in cases like this.

I had the a similar problem with my new/used 06 psd. Would run rough on start up for 2 to 3 minutes. Had to bring back to dealer to have rear window fixed while there he said they would flash the computer and now it starts up fine only a couple of seconds of rough but smooths out quickly.
