Help identifying coolant lines

I was wondering if anybody happened to know what these two coolant lines were? The first one is coming off the thermostat housing and the other one is located on the passenger's side of the engine bay.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

Runs from the thermostat housing to the bottom of the air regulator, back through the throttle body & dumps to the line down behind the alternator.

I bypassed the TB but left it for the air regulator to make sure it opens & closes at the right temp:

know how people remove the air regulator to clean up the intake mani.... will that leave the idle all the way up high? or all the way down low, cause up high for me would be about 1500RPM down low, about 800rpm. lol.

It usually only affects idle when the motor is cold. Running the stock ecu & removing the air reg will cause low / rough idle for a minute or so.

Thanks, I was wondering if I could plug the lines too and was about to do some reasearch on it. Thanks KTM200-280zxt for asking what I was about to research.

Haha no problem, you would just have to take out the air regulator and like Nismo said you would just run rough at idle when you first start your car.
