Follow-up - TB Coolant Bypass in the winter
Just wanted to have everyone post about doing the TB coolant bypass and it working fine.
So far I've been running mine in winter, in 10 F weather with rain/snow prior....
NO ISSUES AT ALL!!
Everyone sign in if you are running the TB coolant bypass in winter to put the issue to rest.

i've wanted to do this for a while, but was worried the car wouldn't start one morning and my dad would be all "You broke the car I bought you that used to work PERFECTLY FINE until you messed with it!"

Good test... DEFINITELY... but its also good to verify with the real world.

Haven't had any problems here either.

Good point, I forgot we don't have an idle control valve.

No problems here either. Went down to 6F for me.
To my understanding it has to be pretty damn cold for the throttle plate to stick. And I doubt that if it stuck without the TB bypass on a cold start with one it'll still stick... since I don't warm my car up before driving.

Mine has been installed for several months, but then again it was 81 yesterday.
However, for the few times the temp has dipped below freezing (and a few days in the teens) I have experienced no issues.
