Black smoke on start up.

Black smoke on start up.
I currently have an 2009 HHR SS. When I start it, I get about three seconds of black smoke and then turns to clear. I was wondering if this is normal for the 2.0L Ecotec engines? If anybody could help, or has gone through this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just a part of direct injection engines. DI engines fire fuel in faster than older style rail injection systems. So you get a full flow of fuel at start up and in turn get some small amount of unburned fuel going through the system. This will cause some smell and a black smoke.

No, I haven't done any modification to the engine. I am the second owner of the car. Thanks guys for your help and especially Hillsdale HHR. I agree with what you are saying. I am new to having a turbo engine. It has a clicking sound, the alternator is louder than my old 2.2L. Sometimes I think I'm just hearing things.
Do you're Turbo engines make a rattle sound for a second or so after you have started it?
