Throttle body cooling problem
On my 2.8 there are two hoses that go up the the throttle body for cooling. earlier i noticed the plate that mounts underneath is leaking. So my question is, as a temporary fix could i just bypass it by putting the hoses together? Would it hurt any thing? I mean how hot could it get with all the cold air going through it. 
Its probably a noob question...

Re: Throttle body cooling problem
The coolant hoses to the throttle body are actually
there to HEAT the throttle body to prevent it from
icing up under certain cold weather conditions-
it's ok to bypass and connect the hoses together.
