Oh god! That's terrible.

Personally, I would reccomend that unless you live in the snow or something, just leave the throttle body heated coolant lines disconnected.

They are there to stop the throttle body from icing up, which can happen at low throttle positions when there is a large pressure drop from one side to the other, like how an LPG bottle gets icy when it's about to run out.

This is worst case scenario though, I've always disconnected mine and I live in cold and miserable New Zealand, and never had a problem.

People go to all of the trouble of having a cold air intake, and then have an 80 degree celcius throttle body and intake manifold, doesnt make much sense!

also, I'd reccomend an oil change, now that you've most likely got coolant all through it.

Would also reccomend killing who ever did this to your engine!
