Default Starts fine but won't idle '97 Ram 1500

I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.9L engine. It starts quickly but then dies right away. If I give it gas it will continue to run until I take my foot off. The exhaust is smoking a light grey smoke also and it normally doesn't do this. It seems like my fuel mixture is off. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
