Coolant Lines

[SinisterSHO]

On the throttle body, there are two smaller coolant lines, where does the one towards the firewall go to? I have a small pin hole in it and I was trying to take it off, but everytime I moved it, coolant kept coming out. Would I have to drain the whole radiator to get this one hose off?

Thanks..

From memory, lines go-

Start above T-stat, back to IAB.

IAB - Throttle body

TB - Water manifold just above and to the right of the thermostat if you look at it from the passenger side.

Does that help at all?

Not really.

There's a total of three lines on the TB, two smaller ones on either side, and a bigger one right on the bottom.
Looking from the drivers side, the one on the firewall side, which connects to the throttle body pointing straight up, then it curves towards the block and connects to something.

Thanks again.

I can't quite picture where you're talking about. The TB has two coolant ports: One in, one out. The big one on the bottom is PCV, as is the line that runs off the side to the valve cover. One of the coolant lines to the TB runs back to the spacer in between the IAB and the plenum, the other runs down to the Water manifold near the thermostat.

One of the Coolant lines is facing towards the motor, and one points down towards the ground. The one pointing down is the return to the water manifold, and the one facing back runs to the IAB spacer.
