do you have a turbo or supercharger? cause if not your not compressing air in the throttlebody its just getting sucked in. also the intake manifold will be the same temp or maybe a little cooler then the engine and the throttlebody is connected to the intakemanifold making it the same temp or atleast a few degrees colder since its farthest away from the engine making it warm and not gonna freeze. do this if you think it will freeze, warm your car up to normal temp and spray CO2 on the manifold and see how long it stays the white frost color. if it stays frozen for more then a few seconds which i dont think it will then change it back to stock but if not leave it cause your not gonna have to worry bout it freezing the throttlebody.
