What the fuck? No fucking way! It's your FITV dude. Fast Idle Thermal Valve. It's located underneath the throttlebody and has a coolant hose connected to it. It's held in place by 3 10mm bolts. Remove these bolts. You can leave the coolant line attached so you don't lose much. On the back of the FITV there's a copper looking cap held on by 2 8mmbolts. Remove these bolts and you'll see a plunger threaded inside of the FITV housing. Use your fingernails or a flathead screw driver and thread the plunger in as far as you can untill you feel resistance. Make sure it's all the way in or it can and probably will wriggle it's way back out. Re-assemble the way you took it apart.
