The colant hose's run throught the TB, the hot colant. So yeah, you have a CAI? Then keeping those hose's just nulled any cold air you might have gotten from the intake.
It works, i did it to my car.

Throttle body coolant bypass.....
What is the reason for doing this?

Me too. I actually noticed quite a difference in semi-cool weather.
yes. This little mod has definately worked wonders for me 
What happens is.
They run coolant through the throttle body to keep the throttle plate from freezing open (mostly in Canadia and Places in the US where it snows).
So if you do the bypass it'll take all that heat away from your throttle body and give you more of a throttle response/lower temp. But if you still live in cooler/colder area where it snows it would be wise to hook it back up to the stock way so your throttle plate doesnt freeze open and you cant stop your car during the winter/cold months. Like if you live in Arizona/Nevada/Some Parts of Cali... you should be fine w/ it off most of the time if not forever.

Yeah I have to reconnect it next winter...the Chicago cold would work wonders on that TB :dead:
Well thats what I was looking for...lol...I have 15 mins. b4 i have to leave for class. I think I'll swap it right now....thanks...
That's when I did it too lol...right before class. I didn't even splice the two hoses together. I just pulled one of the hoses off and connected the other one to that spot.
i just did it and there was a noticeable difference. Is there going to be any drawbacks from this mod?
Nope, if you live in colder climates (freezing temperature) your TB plate could freeze open and you wont be able to stop.. =)Originally posted by accentedeclipse

Ive been living in canada all my life and have NEVER had a throttle plate freez and ive been a mechanic for sometime now and have never heard about it happening.
Even if we lived in some magical world where it could happen and it froze.. its called you turn off the car, take it out of gear or stick it in N.
Wow that made my night
Easy dude, what if they dumass who is driving kills someone, then sues Hyundai. See? There is a reason for it. I guess it helps with runing in cold weather too.
What about cars that dont have this feature?Originally posted by wilburisthecoolest

Sorry man throttle plates dont freeze up.

If it never happen they wouldn't have made a recall for the LC Accent, they modified the air box or something to prevent this from happening, but if it wasn't a problem then why did they recall it?
I still doubt it highly, considering I live in a cold climate 4 months out of the yearOriginally posted by villeGS

was it a recall or TSB?
[Edited by GregsterGSi on May 5, 2006 7:02 PM]
recall in northern areas. Wasn't fixed at all in TX
QuitChurBitching... It has happened from a few members here that did the mod and one that didn't do the recall. Do a search.Originally posted by GregsterGSi

If it doesn't happen to you.. doesn't mean it wont happen to someone else.. its the prostitute rule.. just cause you didn't catch it.. doesn't mean someone else wont.
NHTSA Recall No. 01V346/Hyundai Recall No. 047
Vehicles: Hyundai 2000-2001 Accent vehicles equipped with 1.5 liter or 1.6 liter engines manufactured from August 1999 through May 2001.
Population: 26,608 passenger vehicles sold or currently registered in the states of Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Problem: While driving at a steady throttle opening for an extended period of time during extremely cold ambient temperatures (below approximately -5 degrees Fahrenheit with high humidity), moisture in the combustion chamber blowby gases can freeze and block the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve and hose. If the PCV hose freezes, combustion chamber gases are forced through the breather hose into the air intake hose and then into the throttle body. Moisture in the combustion chamber blowby gases may freeze inside the throttle body bore and throttle body idle speed control circuit resulting in the throttle valve not closing fully and a higher than normal idle speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Remedy: Dealers will install a new, relocated PCV hose and will additionally install a heated throttle body on the 2000-2001 Accents equipped with 1.5-liter engines that were produced through January 31, 2001. Owners should contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
This is why that heated coolant runs through it.. if you take it off you need to put it on during colder weather..

Thank You.. Drive Through.

so does this apply to the 1.6DOHC?
It does freezes... i've seen them happen on some cars where the weather is highly humid and cold... the velocity of the cold air freezes the water in the air.
But this mostly applies to highway, high speed driving for extended priods of time.
If it's city driving, it's not likely because of the constant movement of the throttle.
But SAFETY is the NUMBER ONE thing to remember. Fast cars don't kill, it's the driver, and foolish.
