White smoke points to blown head gasket, or cracked/warped block or head. Does the exhaust smell sweet?
Not sure. Is there a way to tell which it is?

When I first made the changes, it sat around 1100. Also, when it occasionally stops choking it jumps and sits back at 1100 too.

My 94 gts st204 5sfe has some issues when idling. I sense it is supposed to idle at 1100-1200 rpm, and not dip below that. It struggles sometimes, and goes between 400-800rpm. Help?
