bad intake manifold gasket?

Yes, thats exactly right.
I bypass that throttle body coolant line on all of mine, just to make it easier everytime i pull the throttle body off.
I dont believe there is any performance benefit from that, and i live in Texas, so i dont need it to warm anything up. I just
bypass it to be able to remove the throttle body alot quicker.

i looked into removing mine but for 4-5 months i dont see temps above 32 and some guys on here said its possible for the TB to "ice over" so i think its smarter for me to keep it. i cant wait to go back to Alabama where i dont have to worry about cold or snow!

Yeah, lol just to be safe I'd leave it intact for the time being. Lol
