If you took the UIM off, and did not replace the gasket(s) involved, you probably created a vacuum leak. Old gaskets will tear once you take things apart, and then they won't seal properly when reused.

yeah if you are blowing white smoke you either live in a real cold place and its condensation or its time for a rebuild (blown coolant seal)

You tore the gasket and just decided to put it back together and see what happened?

check the plug wiring.
If it shakes,you may have the trailing plug wires mixed up.
