***update*** the truck is idling pretty high now. The average seems to be 1700-2000. Before i started the project While cleaning I disconnected negative terminal and EFI. I've read its just the ECU relearning.

No one knows the name of those 2 hoses?
 
Subbed to figure out what that duct taped hose is, mine's just like it but with electrical tape. :)

According to the tsm illustrations..the hose that's attached to the back of the air chamber (the one with the duct tape) is an air hose for the air chamber. What that means idk, that's what's labeled in the manual.
And the other hose that goes to the back of the filter housing (the hose with the clamp on) is a evap hose. Got something got to do with the evap circuit.
I'll confirm the layout tomorrow on my rig and report back.
 
Sh!t Dude, I'm going to be the bearer of bad news - possibly.

Is that Power Steering Fluid I see on the table? I hope that's for another car. The 4runner calls for ATF in the power steering system. I believe others have reported issues using PS Fluid. Noisy pump??

I'd get a second opinion for sure (in case I am mistaken) and then I would flush the system well with ATF. You don't want to be ruining steering components.

***HiLife- Thank you!

yea, atf for ps fluid.

Yes. I just went and read the power steering fluid cap. Cap says "power steering fluid" then in smaller letters underneath it says "use dextrin type ATF"

Plus after my daughter drove it today she said the steering wheel was a lot harder to turn.

How can the parts department at a TOYOTA dealership not know that? I guess I'll be doing it again tomorrow....:wtf:

Thanks Kanoe for noticing!
 
The hoses you show are:

Evap system vent hose
This returns fuel fumes into the intake from the gas tank

EDIT: I am wrong about this one with the tape, my mistake
WAS: Intake manifold full vacuum
Truck will idle poorly with this hose disconnected


Regarding ATF for PS
I have a Toyota 4x4 PS Box in the Chevy truck in my signature. I ran PS fluid in it for years until I read somewhere to use ATF. I swapped it for ATF and life has been better.

those are both atmospheric lines, im a less is more guy, I ditched the resonator boxes, the two lines to the power steering pump and tee'd the fuel pressure regulator line into the airbox to charcoal canister hose.

baja1- i really like the "less is more guy" way. do you have any instructions/pics on how to ditch the resonator box?

seems every year was a little different, my '97 was super easy, alot of info for different years for this mod on this site.
 
Old and new 4runners. My oldest daughter managed to steal the 2001 from me and turned it into a beach mobile.

So i had to replace it with a 2016 Trail Edition but I don't like the wheels or lift. I bought it from a guy (had 4k miles on it) who did a 3" coil lift and added the aftermarket wheels (275/70/17). They rub when I'm backing up and it makes me want to punch a baby.

Close up of wheels.

i'm thinking about putting the wheels from the '16 on the '01. I'm guessing they'll clear with a 3" toytec suspension lift and a 1" body lift.

I like those wheels and tires on that lift. Looks good.

Jut throw a pair of spacers on the front, you'll clear no problem.
