I'm about to start it up again, and check that all plugs are firing with a timing light. If that's ok, I'm going to plug in my stock ECU and see what happens.

Cap both nipples off - the one on the water pump housing and the one on the back of the block. Do NOT just get cheesy rubber caps from the Help! section - they will fail in record time. I always take the stock line, cut a small portion, plug it with a bolt, and use 2 hose clamps - one on the nipple, one on the bolt. Seems a little cheesy, but it works great and won't fail on you.
Or, if you're really enterprising, drill/tap and plug the holes, or have them welded shut.

LOL nah, cause your thread actually reminded me of the problem i have with my car.
Thank god i got a hunch on searching cause tomorrow or thursday, i was gonna go nuts trying to figure out what to do.
Now i know what to do. Either put those coolant hoses back on the TB, or wire my fast cam.

Is the fast idle cam the spring that is "connected" to the Warm-up plunger?
I completely removed and blocked the Warm-up plunger AND the spring that it's connected too. Will this screw up my idle completely and is there any other modification I need to do or should this setup work?
