Help Please While Smoke and no power on start up

HELP PLEASE

just of late when I start my freelander in the morning I get a load of white smoke and I have no power for 10 - 20 seconds as if there’s no fuel in one of the injectors.
If I slowly build the revs up it clears and it will be fine for the day.

I’ve plugged it in and have no faults, I’ve had all of the injectors out and professionally tested one injector failed on leak back and I replaced that injector.
All of the heater plugs have been renewed and I’ve fitted a new fuel filter and still no change..

The vehicle is a 2009 with 150k on the clock any suggestions please or has anyone else had this fault

No not yet but my mechanic said it should run fine without coding is just the very fine tuning of it.
Is that wrong

No, it's not wrong. The mechanic is right.

None of my injectors matched the codes stored in the ECM, and it started just fine, with the same amount of smoke (blue in my case).
Correctly coding the ECM made almost no difference to engine running, as it's literally just a fine tuning, nothing more.

If you have no fuel at one injector, then engine will misfire.

See if you can see small air bubbles in the clear fuel supply pipe, under the braided section, while the engine is idling. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

Had something very similar with wiring plug to fuel rail not connected properly. Would be only when starting. Ton on white smoke, didn't want to rev. Would improve and smoke would clear after few mins, then drive normal. Went like this for a few days before she wouldn't start at all. Cleaned out the plug connectors and all good ever since.

Worth a look at the plugs & wiring.

Would love it if it’s as simple as that finger crossed 🤞 🤞🤞
