ok, u kno how the header gets really hot when u drive, well, the heat from that gets transfered to the intake manifold just bythe rules of physics. the metal on the intake manifold apsorbs the heat creatd by combustion. the coolant keeps the manifold from becoming hot like the header.

that’s what i figured too… I mean, my intake manifold and TB gets too hot to touch after driving for more than 10 minutes… Now, I’m sure after the coolant passes through the radiator, it’s sure as heck COOLER than the temprture of the intake manifold…

Isn’t the coolant in the radiator hot? I’m pretty sure that’s why you’re not supposed to take off the radiator cap right after you drive the car.
E-DA9, that seems weird that your car idled high like that. Maybe you would be able to adjust the idle enough with the screw on the TB to be able to do the mod but keep a stock idle too.
I believe it is probably your fast idle valve not letting go. I didn’t think this had anything to do with the coolant going through the TB but maybe it does?!?! I did not have a fast idle valve when I took the coolant lines off my TB. Have you tried adjusting your idle??
