I found it finally I don't know exactly what the main purpose is of it. Does anyone have any clue?
Can anyone tell me the purpose of this connector?

As far as i remember, that bolts to the fender, it's an RF choke for the Radio - but don't quote me on that.
RF choke - filters out EM interference - if you were to omit it, you might have trouble hearing AM broadcasts.
Take it and pitch it. Then post in a few years that you can't figure out what that plug on your harness is for.
I'm doing my harness and I can tell you that's a "noise filter". I have no idea how it affects the radio. It is integrated in the fuel and ignition circuits. I have a very, very hard time beleiving Toyota put a noise filter in the engine bay in parallel with ignition and injection circuits for the radio...
I'd keep it.

Ok well with that being said, just to put it out there. Would this cause an issue like this? Cause this is the only issue im having with the motor right now.

It will keep electrical noise/rfi out of your stereo and other electronics in the car, best to keep it on there. Your radio will still work, but will be more prone to background buzzing without it.
FWIW, here's the schematic of that filter:
The other Black/Orange branch goes to the ignition coils and igniter.

The issues I see in that video are:
1. Temperature gauge not working. If it isn't sending the ECU the proper signals, you could get running issues.
2. Idle is a bit high
3. At 3:40 in the video, you have 3 lights lit near the check engine light. I'm not sure which lights those are, but you may have stored codes that could help us solve your problem

The temp gauge is independent of the ECU, but you should get it fixed or buy an aftermarket gauge.
Check codes.
The part you showed is the "noise" filter. I believe it is used for the ignition system. The 1JZ comes with it as well, mine had brittle wires so I used the 7M one which does the samething.

There are several in the car and they should be left connected. They're not chokes btw. If they were bad things would happen.
Yes the lights are the the CEL and a out light, the reverse lights aren't hooked up. I have codes, I believe the last time I checked it was only the o2, and boost sensor. But I will check these again tomorrow.
