Pinched coolant line to the TB cause high bouncing idle?
I removed my emissions equipment and I replaced the coolant line that goes to the TB and extended it. The line folds in half and does not allow coolant to pass through it to go into the TB. Would this be the reason for a high bouncing idle? I was reading about the thermowax and do not exactly understand it but do understand the lack of coolant could be the culprit. Any insight?

Yes.
No coolant flowing prevents the cold start cam from disengaging.
The stock ECU "sees" the hot engine via the water thermosensor, but the throttle plates are propped open from the cold start cam.

Yes & No.
If the TPS is set so that the ECU sees closed throttle even when the throttle (or a vac leak) is running you to 1500RPM, the ECU will fuel cut till the revs fall back below 1500.
That can give the zoom zoom zoom idle.

Here are links to both sites that gave me the info to do this right.
