The thing on your IP with the little rod is your fast idle solonoid. I do not even use mine except when it is cold. I know it isn't right but mine always started fine for 20 years without it and old habits are hard to break. lol
Your cold start advance is inside the IP it actually advances the the timing until the motor warms to 112 degrees and the same temp switch controls it and the fast idle solonoid so they shut off at the same time.
The first thing I would check is your glow plugs, info for the procedures are in the sticky at the top of the page.
A puff of smoke is normal at startup especially in the winter, but not a cloud and it should clear up fairly quick. Running ragged and vibratiing is a miss caused by one or more cylinders not heating as fast as the others, glow plugs are the most common culprit, but even with a bad glowplug that cylinder should start hitting pretty quick.
A dribbling injector can cause it as can low compression in the cylinder.
