Anyone know what this is

On my second gen 4runner in the back passenger side of the engine bay.

 

An oil filter?

Follow the lines, and see where they go.

Come back and tell us.
I'm curious to know.

 

It’s not an oil filter
One of the lines disappears under the car and the other is a vacuum. On top it says canister.

 

been a minute since I had my eye on a 2nd gen runner but otoh that's the charcoal canister for the EVAP system

 

It's your charcoal canister.

 

Ahhh.....
I bet it's an emission evap can.
I can almost make out the part number....
But not hardly in the pic.

@Speedytech7 knows......He knows all about those gen models

 

What does it do

 

Thanks......
I fgured you or Speed might know.

I haven't been in a 4runner of that area in a long time.

 

Traps gas fumes. So you don't pollute the air.....(In short. And super simplified)

 

Thanks

 

So it wouldn’t matter if the exhaust headers are touching the hard lines to it.

 

Yeah that's the EVAP can for the early years 95 for V6 and 4 banger 4x4 and 95-97 for 2wd 5lug models
