It did make a small difference on my 90 here in AZ as far as HOT weather driving. It seemed it didn't lose as much power when it was over 110. I don't have any real data to back it up. I didn't notice a difference in the cold though. I didn't see any performance difference either. It did clean up the look of the engine compartment a slight bit.

What affect does it have on cold starting? Will it throw a code at any time warm or cold?

By-passing it does not set a code; there's no code for that in the ECM. The system will never even know you did it.

Waste of time unless you remove your throttle body alot.
All I noticed is it got my opti wet and caused more problems than it was worth.
Now I juice it so it made it easier to set up the nitrous plate.
I think the mod rates up their with the air foil,!/2 inch spacer for the throttle body,adjustable fuel regulator,and mass air flow housing.

It's a better idea if you live in.....
If you live is South Florida, Az. or Cal. It is for reducing heat in the T/B. In most states, reducing the temp. in the T/B is not necessary. In South Florida reducing the temp. in the T/B, during the summer, is necessary.
