LOL, There's no coolant lines on mine and I believe obxdude already covered that it was on 05 only feature. The car in question here is an 08.
But hey, I heard if you press the gas pedal and hold your breath for 10 seconds your car will be super fast. LMAO.

You heard wrong. You're referring to the "NO2 By-pass Mod" where you insert the NO2 tube in your mouth, inhale and hold your breath for 10 seconds. You don't even need to touch the accelerator.

I tried your little press that gas pedal and then wait six seconds trick. Followed it to the letter from the instructions posted on this forum. Even did it twice just to make sure. It didn't do a thing. Not one thing. I combine my own experience with the fact that professionals who get paid to work on these cars have told me they never heard of any TPS recalibration procedure that involved pressing the accelerator. Sorry if I don't believe in the pedal thing man but hey, I gave it a shot. Yes I actually do take the word of paid professionals that I personally know over that of an internet forum. Call me crazy.

Ok Red, whatever man. It's all good. Just seems to me that if a guy wants to know if his throttle body has coolant running to it he might lift the hood and spend five seconds looking at it. Could have saved himself a question.

I'm not really the mechanic type so I wouldn't know what to look for. If you don't want to help answer a few simple questions for someone who has no idea what they're doing, don't say anything at all.
