    QUESTION 1:

    I will be taking my throttle body off to get to the IAC and want to replace the coolant hoses while I'm in there as a precaution. Or at least if I crack one while removing it, I want to have a replacement ready.

    At 28:25 as he pulls off the throttle body there's 2 coolant hoses attached to the IAC valve on the bottom of the throttle body.

    This seems to be a good layout but I can't identify which hoses go into the IAC.

    QUESTION 2:
    For the coolant reservoir, this cap assembly part should include all the hoses and clips in the diagram, right? Another site suggests this part is only the cap.

    Given the issue with finding out that the vacuum hoses are an odd 3.5mm ID and not the 3mm or 4mm that is suggested at various places online, I'm leery of guessing the size.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    The bottom one yes the Top one is for the 4 cylinder it might not be long enough .

    I guess I should go remove my Throttle Body and measure for you.

    This is why I buy hose in 100' rolls I always have what I need.

    Ha, don't take yours apart on my account!

    The top one lists this in the fitment. Looks right to me? Mine is Base 3.4L V6
