I didn't drill them out, just used a grinder to grind them flush.

This. The write up is saying to use a bit bigger than the fitting so it's like grinding it but with a drill bit.

The coolant lines, in extremely cold climates (pronounced, that antarctic circle) keep the throttle from freezing open. Generally, we're never going to see that issue where any of our vehicles are maintained, so we delete them.

yeah its easier now, but i know you read my other post about my car not starting(turns over wont start) and i know you prolly say my comments about how im pretty sure its my fuel pump. but can anything in the bypass mess up my car in anyway? just think its wierd how the fuel pump goes the same day i changed everything and drive my car... doesnt seem right
