Trying to track down my leaks but the small hose that runs up to the throttle body anyone know where I can find a replacement? It started to crack when I replaced my knock sensor about 5 months ago and now with it getting colder I wanted to get it taken care of.

A parts store dude, find out what size it is and get a foot and cut to length. I by-passed my TB. Also did it on )2edlines car too.

I bypassed the TB on 3 of my cars. :lol: Makes removing the intake manifold so much easier.

If you live anywhere where it gets really cold, then I wouldn't recommend bypassing it; during the winter at least. You could keep it connected during the winter then bypass it in the summer.

If your TB is covered in blowby/motor oil, then it probably wouldn't ice up anyway.

I live in RI, it gets pretty damn cold here. I went one winter with this car like that, one with my Accrod and 5 out of the 6 years on on my GT. My friends Maxima has been like that for four years and none of these cars experienced problems. If you are in Alaska or some place similar I would test out first before committing. Either way it can be converted back.
