Would like to know if anyone has a picture or easy to read instructions on how to install a coolant bypass kit. The instructions I have are not clear. They say "underneath the throttle body there are 2 coolant lines, one comes from the radiator and the other from the intake manifold. Remove the lines that enter the throttle body and mate them together with the bypass tube." A picture would be good if anyone has installed one. I just can't figure out how this works.

Water flows into the throttle body to heat it up faster after a cold start, which improves drivability. If you do not want that function just disconnect the input water line and the output water line from the throttle body and connect them with a tube leaving the throttle body bypassed with no water flow...
