Yes coolant runs through the ISCV and TB but I seriously doubt that it could leak into the intake through them. Are you sure you didn't connect a coolant hose to a vacuum port?

The reason that coolant lines are run through the throttle body and idle speed control valve is for, as Kevin stated, cold weather. The coolant warms the two parts so that the valve and throttle plate don't stick shut due to ice formation.

Theres no way unless the casting is cracked that coolant could leak there. There is however the gasket between the head and intake manifold that coolant runs threw. Its under the lower plenum.

Chances are it's gonna be your head gasket. The iscv is not likely to leak. Why did you change your hoses? Did you have a leak?
