mysterious damn hose!!
 

right, i finally have a picture... where is the hose that connects to this nozzle supposed to go? and what happens if it isn't there?!

that's the throttle body warm up coolant line. the hose should come out from top of the rear side housing (the side housing which connects the tranny to the engine.). It's a pre-shaped hose but i think with a 3/8's hose, you can connect it on your own.

ahhhh, nice!
so what happens if it is missing like this?!

umm if it isn't bypassed, then it would probably be shooting coolant everywhere. So my guess is it is bypassed and I have read that you don't really NEED it. Some people take it off because once the car is warm it would theoretically warm up your intake temps. Not sure how accurate that is, but that is what my understanding of it is.

cheers guys, i had everything from BOV bypass to MAP to AWS said to me...

a lesson learnt! i live in a warm climate, so i won't lose sleep over it!
