So I deleted the coolant lines to the iac and made a plate to cover up the empty cavity and bolting back onto the manifold to use as plugged in.

question on the fast idle thermo valve on bottom of TB. It looks ugly leaving it there. Do I plate it off or to I trim off the coolant nubs or remove them n keep it on for drivability issue that could occur if removed?

plus is the a 2 port or 3? I get that maybe it could be called a 2 port as the middle is for coolant n don’t matter a whole lot. If it’s a 2 port I can find plates to delete it but if it’s truly a 3 then that’s been harder to find.

thanks in advanced guys!

 

You can silicone a flat plate on to the bottom of the Throttle Body and seal off the TWO ports for the FITV as well as the middle coolant port (originally designed for warming the wax pallet inside the FITV allowing it to close). I have made these plates in the past from 1/16" or 1/8" aluminum and drilled three holes in the rectangle shape and bolted it down using short 6mm bolts (as well as silicone around the perimeter of the three ports).
