    Aftermarket intake and exhaust. Coil-overs. Bigger tires.
    I have realized that I need to install a stock air intake back on my taco. The one I bought from the recycle yard has this extra outlet that I need help with. I know the small hose in this picture runs to my pressure regulator, but I have no clue where the hose at the top right goes into. It would be right next to the throttle body. Do I just cap it?20170123_123756.jpg 20170123_123738.jpg

    On my 96 I believe that line goes to the IAC just below the throttle body.

    On my 02 2.7L there is nothing on the backside of the intake tube. At some point they must've changed something on the intake from the older 3rz motors and the newer motors.

    So do I just plug it since I already have a line going to my IAC, or did I by the wrong part and now have to find a new one?

    If you simply plug it, it may not pass the visual portion of the smog check :(

    Florida doesn't smog check. Mechanically, would it all run the same with it plugged?
