If you disconnect the throttle body coolant lines, wouldnt that make the throttle body hot? Could someone explain this to me?</TD></TR></TABLE>

The lines are there to heat the TB, not cool it.

Why would you want to heat the TB?
(Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I really don't get it)

 

on cold mornings in cold areas, you need to run richer, thus heating the engine up to operating temp faster, and bringing emmisions down sooner.

 

i dont think that heat wrapping the fuel lines is going to help that much at all since the compression process in the fuel pump heats the fuel more than it would be in the rubber lines in the engine bay.

 

you could always just get a cool can....

the sparkplug thing makes sense.....

Ice can form when cool humid air is reduced in pressure quickly. Aircraft have carb heat for this reason. It's usually not a problem though, depending where you live...

Thank. I got smarter today
Well, I think i need this heating, as it can get as cold as -30 degrees Celsius in winter here

 

The vapor pressure of water at -30 is quite low (there is very little water in the air because it has already precipitated). Icing conditions are usually when the air is just above freezing and humid. Like in evenings when frost forms on plants.

 

I don't like cheap and horsepower, they don't go together.

 

Agreed. You also arent likely to feel the 1 or 2 hp difference you may actually accomplish in doing all this. That is unless you have a super fine tuned butt dyno.
