I may have my throttlebody vacuum lines crossed

[calico]

Hi, i took my throttlebody off today to replace a stripped biss screw. In the process i noticed one of the 2 vaccum lines on the bottom had a hole. (the antifreeze line) Are those 2 lines interchangeable, or are each of those lines specific? I'm curious because i'm running hot now, but i did had to cut off a piece of the rotting hose and put new clamps on. Does someone have a pic of where the 2 lines are supposed to go? thanks......

just replace the hoses with new units and put them to the correct location. the 2 coolant lines to the throttle body shouldnt matter wich way they are hooked up, it will just change the direction the coolant flows through the throttlebody.

On my car there is a diagram of vaccum hoses on the under side of the hood, that could help you out.

its hard to know if he means vaccum hoses or actual coolant lines on the tb. either way its cake to route, and neither is directional or nipple specific.

I'm referring to the 2 hoses on the bottom of the throttle body. I think i may need better clamps to clamp them down. Either that or maybe the system needs a burp. Thanks everyone....rep points 4 u all, when i figure out how to do it now..
