    I’m thinking coolant passages. That were not used. Or for vacuum lines.

    This shows the optional configuration. IDK what the options are. And I don't have a searchable copy of the FSM.
    I am chasing gatorgrl's solutions, which were the circuit-opening-relay, and EFI relay. still looking for the circuit opening relay for the 1999 model.

    but her runner is Gen 2, mine is Gen 3, and the locations of the millions of gadgets is different.

    is their a searchable list of all the illustration and part numbers online? that's doesn't take all day?

    thanks for whatever knowledge ya gots

    1 line on Some go to the TVV (Evap) then it is routed to the Charcoal canister and the other would go to the EGR vacuum modulator however not all engine use those connections and what we see in your picture are the Toyota factory dead end plugs on earlier 4 runners and Tacoma's they were used more.
