Is that coolant? If it is, did you forget to hook your coolant line back up to your throttle body? The smoke can be from coolant getting on your headers just don't get any on your belts.
Also, the FSM recommends you perform the throttle body closed position procedure after disconnecting the throttle body. The idle air volume learning procedure after replacing the throttle body
There are YouTube videos that walk you through it, but I'll leave some pages from the FSM to perform the procedure.
