cap and rotor?

how is it goin everyone? ok, this started since i got my 4" cowl, so i think the prob is that my new cap and rotor got wet. sometimes, when i start my car, my RPMs will go to +-500. i can smell fuel, so i am missing, and some smoke comes out of my exhaust. after i rev it up to a grand or so for a couple seconds, it is fine. any guesses?

Not sure Matt...always a good idea to let us know what type of engine, mods, induction, etc...you have in it...don't want someone telling you to replace the secondary metering rods...if it's EFI
