Andrewkb Neutral Newbie August 13, 2003 Share August 13, 2003 Actually the TB coolant is to heat up so that it wouldn't freeze ... our weather doesn't requires the heating up .. if we cool it down too much, might defeat the purpose rite... Alternatively, blow cold air into the air box ;-) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Neutral Newbie August 13, 2003 Share August 13, 2003 TB will become very hot due to conduction from the combustion chamber, that why got this crazy . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modeldriver Neutral Newbie August 13, 2003 Share August 13, 2003 yah... actually was thinking about that too... was wondering whether or not can get from the blower into the airbox Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Neutral Newbie August 20, 2003 Share August 20, 2003 Heard one mech told me that the coolant in the TB is to "Cool" it down instead of "Heat" it up. It will become very hot if no coolant flow into the TB. So, Who's thoery is right, getting so don't dare to do it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewkb Neutral Newbie August 20, 2003 Share August 20, 2003 Hmm .. that's anyway to think of it ... but then .. from most reading .. it says it's meant for preventing throttlebody freezing leh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saaber Neutral Newbie August 20, 2003 Share August 20, 2003 andrewkb is right, the coolant is use to heat up the throttle body to prevent freezing in the cold country but the side effect would be in the cold morning start, you might encounter hard starting or erratic idling for a short moment once in a while....

Jimmyl Neutral Newbie August 21, 2003 Share August 21, 2003 Read somewhere that for Hyundai cars anyway, there a "sensor" spring that needs to coolant to heat it up, else always give rich mixture till the surrounding air heats it up. Waste fuel . Just informational. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewkb Neutral Newbie August 21, 2003 Share August 21, 2003 Hard starting unlikely, because anyway before the engine starts, the whole engine bay is stone COLD ! As for longer warm up .. probably Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Neutral Newbie August 21, 2003 Share August 21, 2003 Thanks. I'm going to give it a try this weekend and monitor the temp see got any diff. I'm only worry about cold start when in Genting, local climate should have any problem like what AndrewKB mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Neutral Newbie August 21, 2003 Share August 21, 2003 Yeah, this is what the mech told me that some car have sensor to monitor the coolant temp in the TB. Anyway, will try it out to find out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
