Can you bypass the coolant from the throttle body on OBD2 cars? I have mine looping through the turbo then the TB, so I can imagine how hot the TB is getting. So I'm thinking about just making them go through the turbo, and get rid of it looping through the TB. South Florida never gets cold so I doubt I'd have issues. But is it able to be done on OBD2 without making ---- screwey?

 

just try it, if you don't get a CEL, then you're straigh. i don't think it wil affect anything, but it will only take a second to do it.

 

might make it idle high b/c the eacv never sees that the car is warmed up??

 

Good call, here in MN on colder days my idle starts at like 2800 and then settles to 850 after like 5 minutes.

Mine does that anyway.. lol so no biggy.

 

i did the coolant bypass trick and had that bouncing idle problem. a guy on honda-tech put a flat metal sheet, he used a cut up coke can, between the bottom sensor and the throttle body. I did this and my idle problem is completely gone.
