I can't figure out what this piece is and it just fell off.
Thats the Flux Capacitor...








nah j.k seems to be part of the radiator system maybe temp sensor?

What I think when you think I care
lol mine has done that too. its a vacuum line i think?
its a vac line, put the hoses back on and zip tie them down
Is that the one with the single wire? If so it's the coolant temp sensor. on some models there is one with a hose that determines water presure/amount; i cant see from the pic.

Thats too funny!


Thank you all very much!
Does anyone know what the top blue-ish green thing is. I looking it up and the coolant temp sensor is what it connects to.
the coolant temp sensor is in the radiator. that's a vac line, trust me, i just did an engine swap not that long ago and I had to hook everything back up. coolant, vac, and wiring because i completely pulled the engine

there is another coolant temp sensor in the radiator. that is the ECT sensor for the fans to turn on or off.

the circled part is a TVV for emissions I believe, TVV stands for thermal vacuum valve.

I have no idea what it is, but it certainly isnt that.

the thermo switch is in the bottom of the radiator, stick your hand down there and search for an electrical plug and unplug it, notice your fans will be constantly on.

its an electrical plug thats plugged into a bung shaped thing thats screwed in, thats the thermo switch and thats at the bottom of the radiator

when facing the front of the car it will be just to the right of the drain bung and outlet hose

Ok fair enough.

Well mine's here http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_J_1996_TOYO...3.html?hl=89428



SW Temperature in the bottom of the radiator.

On the back of my water outlet is the temperature sensor.

Wait.. what you showed is in the bottom of the radiator too, are you saying that plug ended up all the way up there? Bizarre.

the sensor on the back of the water outlet is for the temp gauge. the one that OP circled on the picture.

edit: can see your pix or the diagram in toyodiy
