Did you disturb the wiring while removing the coolant lines, or get coolant into connectors? The codes point to that. Also you continued to run it on track in that condition? wow

street tires suck, lol.

plenty of people bypassed the TB coolant without issue. Those codes are almost always the TB and in theory it should probably go into limp mode. If coolant got into either the wiring connector or TPS electronics then that could be the issue. And then maybe it dried out with some heat cycling and hot coolant running back through it? Either that or the TB has issues that might only show up when cold, seems like a wild-guess long shot though.

maybe try disconnecting again and be careful with towels to catch any spillage and see what happens.

it would have to be the used TB if it’s just hot coolant hooked up or not.

I would be shocked if the coolant flow through the throttle body has a measurable effect on intake air temperatures.

is your TB hooked up to the coolant system?

It's not, but the reason is not because I'm chasing some non-existent charge cooling effect to find 0.1hp. Purely for convenience.

yeah, there’s more to it than that though when analyzing the system as a whole and small things add up. I’ll spare the details, but on that point we don’t disagree.
