Lightbulb Re: tb ports?

Those are ports to warm the throttle body in cold weather and prohibit icing. If you aren't going to drive in freezing temps, they are not required to be connected.

The coolant lines on the passenger's side of the motor have outlets that connect to hoses for these. The hose nipples may be capped, or have a hose looping between them.
