block your throttle body coolant
#101
Just a quick question..Im here in south florida and experience the heat bog quite frequently. For our winter days, which the temp in the coldest days gets in the mid 50's to 60's, should I take off the balls.
I remove the balls the first couple weeks in October, save them for next year...Pete

Just curious. With the balls in, what is the idle like on those cooler mornings after a cold start. This is if you don't get them out before the cool weather arrives.
Hi Dave
I don't know what the lowest temp is that I have started with the balls in but I have never noticed any difference in the idle with the balls in..........Pete

Since I live in a "4 seasons" climate, I was considering installing a small ball valve in that line to make it easier to control the coolant flow as the seasons changed.

Interesting. Perhaps you haven't experienced sufficiently cool weather yet. I would have expected that with the coolant line to the TB and IAC plugged up, that it would keep the idle higher for much longer.

I agree 100% thats why I take the balls out before it gets too cold, I think your valve is a great idea let us know how it works.

instead of inserting the ball, why not buy some hose and join the inlet and outlet hoses to bypass the TB?

I used to have a 97 Prelude where the idle went crazy once it started getting cold, however this problem never surfaced with my S2K.
Anyone know if there's any harm in leaving this mod on throughout the winter? Thanks!
