Throttle Body Cooling Question

[deercrusher]

When looking at the bottom of the throttle body on my 94 3.2 there are two small hoses coming off - on to the left and on to the right. There is also a larger size hose coming from the bottom middle which leads in between the heads under the fuel rail - what is that hose? Is it also a coolant hose? I'd like to do a throttle body cooling bypass on this project before I put my intake back on - plus that middle hose was sooo old and stiff I'm afraid that it will leak when I put it back on.

The hose coming out between the heads is a part of the PCV system, so don't worry about than. Just replace the two little hoses to the throttle body with one single hose. You with then have a bypassed TB!

Ok thanks - I noticed that when I was trying like **** to get that PCV hose off - it got a very small split at the end of it. But since it's not a coolant hose - i'm not worried now - thanks for the info trainguy and happy holidays.

This picture shows you how to do it.

Awesome - thanks hawkeye. You see the other hose in that pic - that's the one that was giving me grief. **** is hard as a rock and won't bend or flex, what a pain in the !#$ it's going to be to put it back on.
