Whats up with this?
Today I started the removal of my intake manifold. I noticed some things not major but got me thinking. One thing was the there was no coolant hoses hooked up to the two fittings on the TB. And there was two bolts missing one from the fuel return and feed line bracket and the other from the cold start fitting on the left side of the intake manifold. These bolts had to be taken out by somebody but why werent they put back in? :confused:

Sounds like somebody has done a throttle body bypass.
The missing fuel line bolt, is it on the front of the engine by the intake? it should be easy enough to replace
Missing bolt for the cold start injector? then how was it held in?

Re: Whats up with this? (chucks88)
chucks88 there is what looks like a gasket where the cold start assembly goes from the intake manfold to the rear of the fuel rails. I can pull on the tubing and it will stay in place. As for the TB I know about the bypass but dident think th was done to my car and the coolant fittings on the TB arent plugged.
