I read that the 05's have the coolant line running through the throttle body heating it up some. Should I do the throttle body bypass or will I see no difference? I'm thinking of doing it b/c supposedly it heats up the air before it goes into the engine which would decrease hp and performance. Thanx ahead!

RE: TBB
Throttle Body Bypass huh?? My uncle had one of those performed once and it took him months to recover! J/k
There is more than just that one coolant line and I suppose that you could bypass it but I have this question to ask. Where exactly is the coolant being delivered? I dont think that you should mess with this personally, Im sure the coolant line is not heating up anything more than the heat in the engine compartment itself.

RE: TBB
Thanx for the help! The line goes through the bottom of the throttle body. They sell kits on fixing it, but screamin(a long time ago), made a post on how to do it, drain the lines,then takeout both wires connected to the throttle body and thenconnect them together. I heard it's supposed showa big difference when the cars warmed up. The coolantrunning through the throttle body heats up the air going into the engineby 40degrees or something when the caris warmed up. Any insight is appreciated!
Here's the how to:

RE: TBB
I cant see how it would heat up the air by 40 degrees. Even if the TB was 100 degrees higher w/o the bypassthe air movesquicklythrew the TB. it doesnt just sit intheTB and heat up.

RE: TBB
I don't know. I read u will feel a difference. It's a free mod, and if I have a half hr-hr to do it I probably will. U have to drain the coolant first to do it, so I will have to figure out something to do with that first. Someone said it should yield a few rwhp at the least. If it's free, why not get a few extra ponies!

RE: TBB
The coolant heats up the throttle body and will definitely affect the air temp running through it. Warm up the car and put your hand on theradiator(or the throttle body) if you don't believe me. This poor design was only found on 05 cars. On 2006 and later cars, Ford realized that it was not one of their better ideas and removed it. The modification is easy and will take about 15 mins (including drinkinga beer) and is definitely worth it.
