thejum57 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I kept hearing a rattle under the dash (86 Comanche 2.5, 5 spd ) tracked it down to a box mounted to the left of the ashtray. It says Renix on it, with a large bundle of wires coming out of it. The manuals I have says it is located near the battery. I've felt around, and nothing seems to be loose. There is what seems to be a plate it is attachet to. I tie wired it tight and it seems to have stopped rattlaling. The truck also stumbles / hestates while driving. As of today it does'nt. Any coments...sugestions? Pics And what the heck does this hose do??? Thanks people! Jim
The_Beave Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 i'm thinking that the box is your ecu and the hose is the heat hose to the drivers side
ComancheKid45 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Correct. that is the ECU and that hose goes to a vent located in the kick panel right below the steering wheel ;)
ParadiseMJ Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 the box is your ecu and the hose is the heat hose to the drivers side The hose goes to the "crotch vent" in your knee panel. It just slips on to the vent tube just before you re-install the lower panel.
thejum57 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Duh for me on the hose, I should have figured that out! Well it sounds like the ecu tells the engine what to do. Could certainly explain the on / off performance issues. I don't want to ask, but that's probly an expensive item to replace? Also probly be a dealer item (yikes). Would you just remove the cover and replace a unit inside, like a circut board or something?
thejum57 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 This would be what is inside the box maybe? There was a pic, but it didn't copy.
