just wanted to thank all that helped me out

 

Why would you do this? What is this so-called mod good for?

ok, there is a coolant line that runs to the throttle body, there is no need for it, unless you live in Alaska, the line goes in and out, you can disconnect it from the throttle body, keeping to coolant cooler. I called tech support, they said probably is a air pocket in the line.

 

Cool, thanks for answering the question!

do i hint a bit of sarcasim, i just asked for some feedback. If dont know how to help then why bother posting. You dont need a coolant line to the throttle body, like i said. So if you disconnect it from the TB the coolant will not get as hot, hince keeping to motor cooler.

 

You said it leaked. So have you added more coolant? Can you put it back to stock?

 

its not leaking, and can be put back to scock in about 10 min.

 

Do yourself a favor and just return it to stock. The last thing you need is a overheating engine. See if that fixes the problem.

 

No sarcasim here. I just asked you a question and you answered it. You learn something everyday.

Since the TB creates no heat, it doesn't keep the "coolant cooler", it just by-passes the tb, keeping it cooler, in theroy. if it wasn't needed why would Toyota Engineers put it there?

this mod is meant to keep the tb from heating up, making the incoming air cooler/denser suppose to increase hp. I don't think anyone has proven it on our engines.

not to put you down, just explain why you would want to do such a thing to others so they may learn.

 

cool right on, thanks for all the input, sorry about getting alittle snappy with you Jallamas. I was low on coolant, DUH! This mod isent hard to put on and can be put back to stock in 10 min, Ive got everything running good now. I talked to someone else about it, the reason for a coolant line to run threw the TB is to heat up the coolant more so it goes in ODP mode quickly from a cold start.

"WACKO"....

This is a prime example of : "Why NOT to perform your own mods...

Your complete and utter ignorance of simple automotive knowledge is to say the least....scary.

I do commend your efforts thou, as someone with limited mental skills you certainly made a go at it... Furthermore what is refreshing is your admitted stupidity..."I was low on coolant, DUH!"

Considering your learning disability, I'm not going to be condescending. I'm going to make an effort to help.

So this statement "I talked to someone else about it, the reason for a coolant line to run threw the TB is to heat up the coolant more so it goes in ODP mode quickly from a cold start." is just a little misrepresented...

1st...It would be "through" not "threw"...never mind. FYI if you expect someone to take you serious, or even make an effort to help...then make an effort to write correctly.
2nd.. It's not ODP. It is OBD. This is not a "mode" ... This is what YOU have misrepresented. Perhaps "someone" has informed you that there are different "modes" within OBD-2 systems. These would be "open loop and closed loop" and actually has very little baring on your "MOD"...LOL

As "frogbox" indicated..."Since the TB creates no heat, it doesn't keep the "coolant cooler" This statement is 100% correct...

What just cracks me up;.... is that YOU have know idea what you just did!!!! To make matters worse is you asked for help without trying to eliminate the obvious problem (lazy) ....and then try to pull off that you have an idea what is going on...OMG!!!LOL!!!

Tell me.... Can you walk and chew gum? Do you drool allot?

 

The coolant going through the TB is for mostly winter conditions. If it didnt have that and the vehicle was opperating in below freezing weather even if the engine is hot the TB plate can freeze. The coolant is needed to keep that from happening. There was a recall on the 2000 Hyundai Accents because of this problem so the fix was a new TB with coolant lines. I would hook them up for winter and disconnect them for spring through fall. This mod if done right will have no adverse affects on cooling. Just have to make sure that after it is done that the cooling system is properly blead to get all the air pockets out. If you live in a warmer climate all year round these lines are not needed. When I did it to my 02 Accent the throttle response was a bit better. And it made more sense especially when I was using a CAI. The cooler air did not have to go through a hot TB.

 

wow...D-Bag of the day award goes to Bulldog...

 

^LOL

i agree, i thought Scion was about being a community, i just asked some some feed back, yeah I was little mad but whatever, I hate how there is always someone giving a smart **** answer on these forums, always trying to pust someone down, anyways i was wrong i admitted it, but dont try to make me feel dumb for it.

 

its all good man...at least you asked...and at least it wasn’t another "hey where can i buy wheels" or "whats the best intake" or "what springs should i get" thread...dont sweat it, he must have an inferiority complex and it makes him feel good to be an internet bully....

 

Yeah Bulldog's response was a little out of place.

 

The throttle body makes no heat and therefore needs no cooling. On the contrary, the throttle body needs to be heated to help a cold engine run in cool weather, so depriving the throttle body of warm coolant is not good for the engine.
Disconnecting the coolant line from the throttle body also eliminates a device that removes a tiny bit heat from the coolant, which would tend to make the coolant hotter, not cooler.
No matter, though, as the thermostat keeps the engine between 185-205F, and whether the throttle body is in or out of the coolant loop makes no difference to the thermostat.
(Edited because I first thought the throttle body was a source of heat, though an insignificant one.)
