    Delco Radio Short

    AC wooshing and smoking

    Hi everyone! I replaced my throttle body today and was trying to troubleshoot high idle. I had my AC on high and started to hear a wooshing sound and then white smoke came out of the engine compartment and the vents inside the cab. Is it just out of refrigerant?
