quick question should there be a coolant pipe going to just under the throttle body on a c20let engine?

looks wrong and am thinking this may be my problem as when the car gets warm it starts missing.

am thinking stat is opening and sending water down the inlet causing the missing

runs fine till its warm

There's a hose that comes off the inlet manifold still like on an XE and its mean to go into the little thing on the manifold but I wouldn't bother. Alot of the TB boys blank it off at the manifold so its possibly not needed. Best thing to do is run a straight piece and T it into the nearest matrix hose. I think it was VX Kev who done that and it looks really neat.

I assume you're talking about the one that goes from the head to throttle body area then out again? Just run a straight piece from the head straight to a t piece in the matrix pipe.
