quick question-

does the direction of coolant flow through the throttle body matter? i may have carelessly switched up the two coolant hoses that run to the throttle body so that's why i am curious.

thanks.

anybody have an answer?

I really cant see it making any difference. My $.02.

By pass it altogether.

i don't think that's a good idea. it would mess up the idle and i don't think the idle would drop after the car is warm. i'm having problems right now where my idle is too high after i start the car when it's warm and i'm trying to figure out why.
