I'm not even sure what this part is called. It the a flat rod assembly that keeps the rear cargo door from swinging open too far. When you open the rear door you can see it between the upper and lower hinges.
Does anyone have a name for this part, and does anyone know where I can order one without driving to the dealer?

I believe it is called either a door "stay" or door "check".
You have to remove the roll pin on the door jamb and then remove the inner door panel to change out that part. If you are replacing it because it makes a groaning noise, replacing the door stay will not make the noise go away. It is the rubber piece that squeezes the stay that makes the noise.
I'm replacing it 'cause it fell off somewhere and I can't find it. Thanks much Ray O.

Did you look inside the back door to see if it fell inside? Another possibility is that the roll pin that secures it to the door jamb broke, and the stay is just pushed all they way into the door frame and you can either pull it out from outside the frame or push it back out from inside.

I don't have any experience with EPC's but I'm pretty sure that there is no automatic transmission vacuum modulator in Toyota electronically controlled transmissions (ECT).
Are you having problems with the transmission shifting? If so, check for voltage from the coolant temp sensor (I think your engine has 2 - 1 for the gauge and 1 for the ECM).
