Whizbang will become famous soon enough
there is supposed to be a coolant line off the engine block to the throttle body, then it returns back to the water pump. This flowed coolant to a thing called the thermowax, which, while cold held the throttle open and as the coolant warmed, let off the throttle plates. if its removed (common for people to do when removing emissions not knowing what it fully is) your cold start blows.
