Whats this part??? (3vze)

So got my motor apart and starting to clean things up but i came across this? sits on the back of the intake manifold. What are these sensors/plugs?

pretty sure those two are water temp sensors, and the one closest to the camera is a sort of vacuum thermo switch. (actually not sure on that).

Ya its a thermo switch for the charcoal can purge. Going off memory here but mine is disconnected and runs fine. But mines a wheeler only. Not saying you shouldn't replace it. As long as you got it out id throw a new one in. Unfrogsounatly your gonna have to probably go to the dealer for that little guy.

VALVE, BIMETAL VACUUM
Part NO.: 90925-05047
$47.85 (http://www.toyotapartszone.com/oem/t...925-05047.html)

Also commonly called the Thermal Vacuum Valve (TVV). It allows the engine to suck the vapors out of the evap. canister (when the engine is warm, the throttle is open). Without it, the vapors will just condense into the canister until they start dripping out.

Some have managed to repair this unit (usually when only one nipple is broken), but on mine the remaining plastic was so crumbly the repair didn't take. (I think I paid $65, having not yet heard of YotaTech ...)
