Why is there coolant coming out of my throttle?

1992 ka24de s13

I took the throttle off today and 2 of the hoses I disconnected leak coolant. I searched and no one warned about this so I know it is not supposed to be carrying coolant.

coolant does go to the throttle body.

Coolant goes to the throttle body to prevent icing up on cold climate cars afaik

Reciprocating throttle coolant injection valve.

I would replace your coolant injectors on your butterfly pin and your base idle screw

sorry, I forgot to disclose that it is a 92 ka24de s13. The coolant appears to just flow in and out. Dont think I have coolant injectors. I assume you base idle screw on the iacv? or do you mean the screw that holds the throttle plate open a bit?

that would be interesting.

check the finnegan pin of the harmonic balancer shaft, then replace the coolant injectors but make sure the timing is TDC.

ok.. seriously..

every single enigne that i every worked on has coolant running through the throttle body.
its 100% normal operation,
if you would like by-pass it.. just connect the hoses.
