So I just noticed a few months ago after looking at a friends cars that my car doesnt have the coolant lines hooked up to the throttle body and since its starting to get colder id like to hook them up before winter.

Question is.....is there a way for coolant to get sucked into my intake, or any sort of problems like that, that I need to worry about before I hook them back up

do that mod and delete the coolant lines
 
Can't see why not .. factory installed them there in the first place since the engineers, who designed this procedure, knew this configuration was intended to be there ... all the time for the system to run at optimum prime.

Take that out and good luck keeping an idle until the motor warms up esp where you're in the mid-west where it does get majorily COLD there.

50/50 mix of coolant and water .. nothing else.
 
well right now the hose is just looped from one to the other and it really sucked last winter having to hold my foot on the gas for a couple minutes to keep the car running on startup, so id like to have them hooked up.

Also if I hooked the coolant lines up and my tb already has the fiav block off what would happen? I just dont want to take all that apart
