Start up smoke

I just cleaned my throttle body. New gaskets between TB and big T tube a ICV. I get a lot of smoke at startup now which was not there at all before. It goes away. Also a rough idle. What did I break. There was a large and a small vacuum line. Acts like a vacuum leak but why the smoke now. The motor is strangely slow to decelerate even though the TB is closed.

Whoops, I may have found it. There are two small vacuum lines and one bigger one.

Now the idle is crap. Hope I didn't kill the ICV cleaning it. Will take it down again tomorrow!

Yeah, make sure nothing else got bumped loose accidentally while you were in there. Best of luck and please post what you found!
