I would not recommend bypassing the coolant lines to the throttle body. The fast idle air valve will not work properly and you will have weird idle issues. The throttlebody temperature won't affect intake air temps much at all.

I have a Boomba so I have no choice. I never heard of anyone having issues but I can see how it could affect idle with all the idle settings in the ECU.

One of the products of combustion is nitrous oxides. This is what was causing the haze in California. The higher the temperatures in the cylinder at ignition the more nitrous oxides formed. Engineers found that injecting a small amount of exhaust back into the cylinder kept the combustion temperature down. I don't see how this would be any different on a fuel injected car.

I am thinking about deleting it off the ecu because I have my engine light on right now and just want to clear it without having to change it. dont care of any benefits just dont want it to affect power. so are you saying that it will harm power if I just delete it?? thanks
