Those aren't vacuum lines, those are coolant lines because we have a heated throttle body. Please use search and learn more about our cars before you start pulling things apart.

ok ill learn what every hose,line, wire, everysingle thing in my car from top to bottom before i do anything. pff no! its my first turbo car and thought they were vacuum lines and thought it was strange to see some coolant. dang why r u even here to help if ## gonna be all stubborn. dont bother to reply if u gonna be a acting like a know it all! id brather not have ## help at all. but anyways.. thanks for informing me.. took the scare away
OP
As Mike stated, if you are in fact referring to the FIAV coolant lines then that is normal, however if you are saying you have coolant in your vacuum lines as your title states then you have an issue.


Do I need any more proof of why our current system doesn't work guys? Doesn't want to bother looking into it or learning about it himself. Then he wants the answers sugar coated and handed out with love or he would rather just sit there with a WTF moment hoping it fixes itself.

why do u have to put people down to make urself feel for inteligent! it just seemed unlikely to find a post that mentioned two hoses ran across the TB with coolant. its my first turbo car like i said. Dang
You want to keep going..ok fine..we will keep going. I don't just feel intelligent, I know I am intelligent, because the first thing I did when I started working on these cars was read the service manuals. I also would have followed the lines back to their source to determine if they were suppose to have coolant.
It's probably your first car, because the car being turbo'd has nothing to do with a heated throttle body, most cars have them. Put the wrench down.
i had a 98 eclipse 420a and the throttle body didnt have coolant lines. so there you go, and i dont understand why your here in these threads that are suppose to help people and your just here talking down on people. Grow up all mighty DSM'R and make your knowladge useful towards others instead of using ## Big EGO Big Shot
Let's get something straight, newb, my post was the one that answered your question, whether you like it or not, I did help you. Along the way I implied you are lazy and not that smart and I stand behind that.
Please sell your AWD to someone with a clue and go back to your 420A, since you don't understand what "almost all" means.
. And thanks to everyone who is supportive! Even you haha
HonestlyOut of every1 here your the only one giving a hard time about anything.
Second warning Spanky. You need to follow the rules and use proper grammar and spelling. You have been told 3 times now.
Mike is only speaking in your best interest as was Brian. It's best for anyone unfamilair with the vehicle to learn what they are working with before trying to figure anything out.

Mike, please stop the harsh responses, your point was made.
