This is the book you want for doing your electrical tests. It is more clear than the FSM. Do your testing at the ECU plug and get actual reistance readings if you can. The water temperature sensor is important for determining the fuel-air ratio. Make a list of each reading. Most people go too fast looking for the quick find and fix. Then they have to go back and do it all over again. Been there. If the reading at the ECU is wrong then work your way out to the engine.

The smoke from the throttle body would be through the auxiliary air regulator (AAR). It is open when cold to allow a high idle speed. It's the torpedo shaped thing with two big hosea and an electrical connector.

Not sure what's up with the fuel pump readings since the engine started.

If you get it running well engough to drive it and it pops back and bucks, try the fuel tweak.

Deeper and deeper he goes...😈

Not sure what it means but I misspelled hoses above as hosea. Prophet of Doom. No offense intended to anyone.
