Throttle body bypass???
Awhile back I installed a throttle body bypass....Thats a good thing.... The bad thing is it just hangs there. I currently have it supported to the coupler with a long cable tie (one step up from bailing wire). Has anyone had this problem, and what is the fix.

It's pretty well documented, via scores of threads on this forum, the T/B bypass is pretty much a worthless mod. I'd take it off and hook up the coolant hoses to the T/B and pitch the bypass into the garbage can...Whalla---no more ugly plumbing..

You have to look hard to see mine...I was always concerned the hose or clamp would rub on the pulley, but it hasn't...yet anyways 
One thing different with mine is, I replaced my little 3/8 diameter rad. hose twice ($30 from dealer) so I went with regular heater hose, doesn't have the nice factory bends, but isn't a problem no more.

Unless you can find a different way to route the hose that would hide it under some other components, then you may be stuck with it just hanging there.
