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?

What is smelled like would help. My guess is a blown ac hose and fan sucking "smoke" inside.

Alternately a stuck compressor and a belt burning up.
