Just changing my flame trap this weekend and although I often check the hoses from the Throttle body brass nipples , I never checked the hose that comes out of the intake manafold and runs to the small nipple on the Flame Trap housing.

Well, it was major clogged. I couldn't even clear it with a clothes hanger.

The engine has always run fine. Now that the hose is clear, I think I feel a little more responsivness in the accelerator. Then again, the car always feels like it runs better even after a good cleaning and waxing let alone an engine issue.

QUESTION: With the path going from the intake manafold to the Flame trap which runs to the throttle body, there is no Engine pressure difference so why does this hose exist AND is it possible that the throttle could be more responsive?
Thanks
