after you put the seafoam in did you run your car for awhile in idle and high rpms till the white smoke was clear then change your oil/plugs? sounds like you forgot to run the car after you put the seafoam in lol.

ya i did the seafoam last night and did the whole idle and high rpms thing. i even drove the car around...haha that was fun watching the people get out of the smoke screen. but that doesn't explain the high idle.... maybe i got the idle control whacked out?!?!?

Pull your EFI fuse for a few minutes and retry.
