Title: Removing the mess under the intake
Post by: Quincy56 on August 10, 2008, 09:00:21 PM

So I'm removing all the crap under the intake and the heater plate, but where does the hose go pointed to by the arrow?  It used to go to the plate.

Is that just a TB coolant hose?

Yup its all part of the tb heater circuit. Just unbolt the whole TB heater from the TB.

I figured out that was a hose for coolant from the heater, but I was going to put the TB back on as is and leave that disconnected.  I'll look again to see what else I have to remove.

Thanks for the help on this.
