That looks like a B18E engine - I think the throttle body is heated, so it's probably plumbed into the cooling system.

There is no difference in engine work after disconnecting this sensor. It is correct?

Martinholmesuk - Second photo is different then first. I remembered about this sensor, therefore I added second photo.

When youre ordering parts, I would go for a cover for your distribution belt.
If something snaps and gets into the belt while driving.....................

the coolant pipes going into the throttle body is to stop it freezing in cold conditions! - hope thats what you asked about :?

On my previous 480, (with the cover), the alternator belt snapped & caught in the cambelt. Result; 7 valves bent. :angry:
