throttle body Question..

88 5.0 EFI : I noticed that the throttle body has a coolant channel running through it, from top to bottom, does this coolant channel work with the IAC and TPS? - I mean as far as the coolant getting heated up to operating temp and the electrical components working off of the heated coolant?

The coolant just keeps the throttles from icing and sticking open in cold weather. The IAC and TPS operate the same regardless of coolant temperature.

Thanks! I forgot all about that but then again in im Florida so I dont have to worry about the butterflies in the throttle body getting iced open.
