95 4.3l W having serious issues, need help

Hey guys,

I got some great advice last time I posted regarding my EGR valve so I'm hoping to have the same results.

This morning when I cranked my truck the idle was incredibly rough. I immediately suspected the EGR. I went to get some gas and had almost NO power and a lot of "puttering" out of the tail pipe. So I come home, take off the EGR valve and clean it. It wasn't dirty. Get everything back together and I'm having the same result.

Symptoms are:
LOTS of white smoke coming out the back with a VERY heavy smell of fuel. A short test ride resulted in me using about a 1/4 tank of gas.

I checked my Throttle body and found it moist inside.

I'm not mechanically savy so any help will be appreciated. I have a feeling this is a bad one.
