1. This is the nipple on your intake manifold (right off the head flange). Connect it to the closest throttle body nipple (2).
3. Connect this nipple to your IAC valve (which is attached to the back of the manifold)
5. Connect this nipple back to the nipple on your main water pipe (6).
7. Connect this huge nipple on the thermostat housing to the huge nipple on your intake manifold. This will actually be pretty easy to figure out – you just take that huge u-bend of heater hose and connect the only two huge nipples together.

So basically, the coolant flows out of the water pipe (6), flows through the EACV, then flows over through the throttle body, and finally flows back into the manifold (1). The second coolant route is where coolant comes flowing out of the block and through the manifold (7) then flows into the thermostat housing (8).
