    That's your Idle Air Control (IAC). I can't find any pictures in my phone of where that goes to for my year. It's labeled as the Air Assist Hose in the FSM, but I can't find a better mention of it.

    Thats a link to a thread on here... Kinda what I thought. It's pretty buried- but goes down to the intake manifold. The Y and the two legs are really only accessible when you have the upper intake manifold / plenum off.

    pix is your TB^^^

    On mine(96 2RZ however)

    the large hose inlet goes to intake tube
    The 2 smaller inlets(well inlet/outlet if I’m guessing correctly)are for coolant fed through TB. Both these are same size too

    The other approach is find one of the hoses that reaches it.
