Hey guys just as the title says which line goe to which one? everything is to 2g. if someone could post a pic that would be great!.

Loop them to each other. Eliminate it.

Dont wanna eliminate it...otherwise i just would have got the block off plate.

There is the free fiav blickoff. Its really easy to do.

But on my 90 the one coming off the tstat housing goes to the top and the bottom one drains straight down to the coolant pipe. Idk if its the same on a 2g but I hope it gives you the general idea.

Both nipples are under your CAS. I have had the lines both ways and it made no difference..

You should seriously consider it. You will make more power because it will stop heating up your throttle body (intake air charge temp etc). I just did mine and got rid of my idle surge as well. Never looking back.

The line off the hard pipe goes to the nipple or the right (points down) closest to the manifold.

Best I can think off looking at the picture on my write up. 6th picture down.

ive heard it also creates idle surge

Only if the valve is out of adjustment. Lots of things can cause idle surge, specifically air bypassing the throttle plate when it is not supposed to.

Gotcha. Ill try it soon.

There is no reason to block it off. If it is hooked up and functioning properly than it does what it is supposed to which is a high idle while the car is warming up.

Don't block it off. Just don't hook up the lines.

Yup loop them around each other

Don't block it off. Just don't hook up the lines.

If you disconnect the line then you need a bypass plate or open it up and close the valve.

The hot coolant closes the valve blocking the passage for air to bypass the throttle plate.

Thanks 19Eclipse90 I had them switched.
