Default Idle problem and white smoke

The car idles at 3krpm or so, when the IAC is unplugged the idle drops to 2krpm. I check if the FITV is getting flow and it is. Im about to check the black/yellow wires on the IAC plug, but does anyone have any other suggestions? I also, checked the FITV, which the spring is in spec.

Also, there is white smoke coming from the exhaust. It doesn't go away and Im not sure what it could be....anyone have any tips? Well, I know it could be coolant, but Im not to sure on what to check for.

Im trying to get the car running perfect before Monday, so speedy responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the space!

You obviously have a vacuum leak somewhere... Try plugging the holes on the inside of the throttle body with your finger and see if that does anything. Also check that the various intake manifold gaskets are not soaked in oil.

What's the compression? You very well could have a blown headgasket..............

I replaced the intake manifold gaskets yesterday, the old ones weren't soaked in oil.
Is there more than one whole in the TB for the FITV?

I'll be picking up a comp gauge in a few to check.

Thanks again!

Well, there's the 2 nipples coming off of the valve itself, and then a hole on the inner diameter of the TB, that's it.
