Well the white smoke isn't a good sign. Usually means head gasket. I am not the TR professional by any means, but, I am a mechanic for a living and that is what it sounds like to me. But I am not there though. Do you have the factory converter/s on it?? This may just be condensation. Does the "smoke" clear out pretty quickly or does it hang ther for a bit?? Adjusting your TPS like that is going to change the RPMS anyways, I would think, because you are physically telling the ECM to +/- the fuel mixture without moving your throttle plate. I don't know if this is going to help you or not man but investigate it a little bit more and let us know what else is going on. Another question, does the smoke get worse as it warms up to operating temps??
