89 f-150 302 black smoke on startup

Suspect truck: 89 F-150, 302 FI. You have to hold the throttle to the floor to start it, crank it excessivly, and when it finally starts it billows out black smoke for s second, then clears right up. Runs fine after that. Any ideas? Spark plugs and wires have been changed.

It sounds like an injector or the fuel pressure regulator is leaking.
