So I was talking with a friend at work about cars, and we were talking about pulling my throttle body to clean it since I've had some issues lately, but he said while I have it off I should leave the coolant hoses that go to it disconnected and that will help reduce intake air temperature.
Any gains from doing this? Only thing I can find online is that it will cause problems during the winter, but even those reviews seem to be mixed. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll at least give it a try since it's been so hot here lately.
Winters here get pretty cold, every now and then we dip into the single digits, but the air is usually very dry (I get a lot of static shocks on things all over the place). I've read about some people having issues, and other people going for years driving in the snow with the lines bypassed. Most likely I'll put a valve in the line to make it easy to switch. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
