So I was talking with a friend at work about cars, and we were talking about pulling my throttle body to clean it since I've had some issues lately, but he said while I have it off I should leave the coolant hoses that go to it disconnected and that will help reduce intake air temperature.
Any gains from doing this? Only thing I can find online is that it will cause problems during the winter, but even those reviews seem to be mixed. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
