exhaust manifold question

[p51speed]

So I had a new muffler put on yesterday as the old one had three holes in , and the muffler shop pointed out that I have an exausht leak. so I got up this morning noticed that one bolt on the drivers side manifold was not there. long story short I spent the whol day(15 hours) taking various things off so that I could drill and tap out hole for a new stud,

 

I got everything back together and now I have a high idle and smoke. what gives? can someone point me in the right direction on what to check next? on a good note its not ticking from the exhaust leak anymore. I like this truck but it's pissing me off

I can relate

 

I'd start with the stuff you took out to get to the manifold... chances are something didn't go back together quite right. What all did you remove?

I took off the alternator the air conditioning compressor, the bracket that holds the compressor, the radiator , the fan, the fan shroud, and I put all the bolts and items in back in reverse order,

 

on another note its not smokeing anymore. so maybe it was just some fluids being burned off after removing everything

Does it still have the high idle? And did you mess with the Throttle Position Sensor at all?

fluids burning off....very possible!

I would check all your connections starting with the TPS as noted above. Check all the vacuum lines as well.
