Check Engine

Haven't got ODBII reading yet since I reset light with battery just before getting OBDII.

Symptoms:
- CEL
- Heavy smoke on start (not gas or oil smell) but pungent
- Smoke goes away within1 min, and then no smoke until next start
- Drives normally with normal power
- Idle RPM occassionally increase by a couple of hundred

Any ideas??

Bad Air/Oil Separator and possibly a ripped Bellows tube to cause a CEL due to vacum leak
