So it doesn't struggle to start anymore and idles fine and no smoke now. I found the engine ground was very loose. Also a vacuum hose to the brake booster had the hose clamp down the hose nowhere near the part it was supposed to clamp down on. The hose was pretty loose as well and I fixed that and adjusted and few other questionable hose clamps. So does any of that possibly lead to The smoke happening or the starting the dying immediately and idling rough ? Would that possible cause a code 14? which is the iacv code. It's no longer smoking and it's running fine and I even drove it seems fine.

Just slow down man. Seems like you’re figuring it out before you can read the answers to your posts.
Just keep thoroughly looking over the engine bay for shit like you just said. Disconnected ground, loos hose clamps etc
You’re gettin man. Just gotta slow down a bit

And nah I’ve been reading all the comments as they pop up, that’s how I knew to check for loose hose or vacuum leak. No one mentioned to the ground. I just laughed second happened to notice it before I was about to drive off, which is good because it would’ve most likely caused issues while driving

Thanks I appreciate it, I’m learning as I go since I don’t know shit about mechanics. But so far I’ve figured everything out as it came up
