GM thought it was a great idea to have coolant run through the throttle body to keep the blades from freezing in the winter. Hm ever heard of the blades freezing on any car or a carb? It stops the hot coolant from running through the TB and heating up the intake temps.

I was gonna do a tb bypass but just ran out of time, I finished today and it stared up and I dot believe its misfiring but I ran into a major problem the alternator won't charge the battery!! Any suggestions? I'm gonna run up to autozone tmrw to har then tested, I can't figure anything else, there is a sensor plug that is hanging behind alternator but i can't figure out what it goes to and Idk if it's important, I am definitely going to put the y pipe on and get a light glass pack because she is a loud beast.
-thanks

There is a connector that connects to the alternator.

Put a multimeter on the battery with the car running voltage should go up over 14 if the alternator is working.

Make sure all the connections are correct.

Spinning it by hand does it make any noise?
