Upper Intake plenum identificaion

Any idea what year and model this 3.4 upper intake plenum is from? I am having some engine harness compatibility issues due to this intake having what I believe is electronically controlled cruise control, and a different types of plugs running into the intake. I either need to rewire what I have or find another upper intake plenum. Can i use ANY 3.4 upper that uses the cable cruise control? what are the grey and black plugs in the second picture for?

I found this on Ebay. Would this work with a 2000 and newer 3.4 engine??

From: Junction City, OR

If you needed a throttle by wire setup then no that wouldn't work. But if you don't need throttle by wire, then yes that would work just fine. I am a little puzzled as to what that Throttle body came from in your pics above??? Unless that is a throttle by wire throttle body, but I thought the motor side was bigger? unless its just a cover that is covering up what we are seeing in your pics?

I was told the motor was from a 2001 tundra. But that is most definitely not true. My cruise control from my 1994 4runner is cable, and my throttle is cable. I guess my question is, can I just purchase an upper intake from a pre 2000(before they switched the crossover, among others things i would imagine)?

What are the Grey and black plugs for? I am about to pull up my wiring diagrams and figure this crap out..

This is why you get an ENTIRE donor VEHICLE...

That would be from a 03 04 tacoma or tundra, or a 01 02 4runner

grrr

I originally purchased a complete motor with everything(harness, ecu, ect) but it ended up being junk from the accident. I returned the bad motor under warranty from the junk yard and they shipped in a new one. But I have no confirmation of the actual year and model it came from. The upper intake plugs don't match up at all to the engine harness.

My engine harness is FOR SURE from a 2001 tundra.

I just don't want to dump more money into something I don't need to purchase.

Especially if I can just get a late model 3.4 upper and call it a day.
