Coolant in throttle body?

I know this is probably a noob question, but I just took out my throttle body to clean it and two little hoses attached to it had coolant in them.
why is that?

Automatic? I believe that model has the Idle Air Control Valve attached to the bottom of the throttle body. Its mainly there for cold weather climates, to warm up the throttle body and keep the throttle body plate from sticking.

Re: Coolant in throttle body?
The IACV only controls idle speed on engines that are fuel injected. On some cars the throttle body has a water jacket in it to help warm the TB in cold weather. I've seen a cracked TB or bad gasket cause coolant to end up there. O-ring gaskets are notorious for that.
Hope that helps a bit,
