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

Instead of connecting the two hoses, I just removed the shorter one (the one that comes from the upper radiator hose) and connected the other hose to where it came from. No need to buy a connector.
And I definitely notice a difference on these hot days, but I'm assuming some of that gain is also from cleaning my throttle body. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
