Where does the three hose on the bottom of the throttle body connect to? Had noticed coolant bleeding out from the throttle body and noticed a hose was rotted off. I don't see any sign of the rest of the hose or where it connects to.

Hi,

Can you upload a picture of the hose in question? I have tried to look at manuals and nothing is specific. If I see what you have, it should help.

Let me know.

Everything I've found says it connects to the block but I cannot find a connection. Starting to wonder if it was capped off.

Okay, now I see. If I recall you said there was engine coolant involved. Those two hoses allow engine coolant to flow through the throttle valve. It's been awhile since I dealt with them. There is a steel pipe which the return connects under the intake and the other to the engine block under the manifold. I attached the best pic I could find and highlighted them.

Take a look and let me know if this helps.

Thanks for the help. Me and one of mechanic buddies find the issue. For some reason on my car specifically this hose never had a connecting point under the manifold. It was just plugged off. Just wanted to pass this along incase someone else runs into this.

Welcome back:
Glad to hear you got it taken care of. I have to be honest, I never saw one without a return. Where did you find the info? I would like to know for myself.
