knocks a little when cold. its ben smoking but only when decelerating like when im going down hill with no throttle buddies that have been behind me say it smells like fuel so i figured that a couple injectors might be leaking

they always smoke a little when they are cold and the knocking your talking about could just be the timing advance.does the knocking stop after the fast idle kicks down?
