Mystery hose

[KatahGii]

Ok so finally I’m not posting on here about my fuel pump. Got that working. Just curious now. I noticed this hose in my engine bad and was wondering if someone knows where it’s supposed to go...

Not sure what year you have. I have an 87 2.5. I have a tube there that runs to the TBI.

Mine is an 86. I’m just figuring out everything wrong with this one. It’s a barn find :)

I wonder why this didn't work for you when you @ me? Maybe you didn't select. 

 

Anyways. One of two things, it should still go to the bas of the TB or it routes to the air box. I think it routes to the air box, there should be a diagram on the firewall that shows hose routing for the engine. 

 

I will check my parts book and see.

Yes the parts catalog shows that it routes to the main vac harness(behind the TB, looks like it is missing) to the air cleaner. The front routes to the bottom of the TB. 86 is an interesting animal for the 2.5L.

 

87-90 are flopped. The front routes to the air box while the back goes to the bottom of the TB.

Alright thanks. I’ll look at it tomorrow and take more pics for you. I’m new to this, saw this Jeep for $500 and couldn’t pass up the project. I’ve been trying to get the fuel pump to work. Come to find out the relay was corroded bad. Then saw the hose figured it went somewhere. Also that hose doesn’t fit snug in the engine. Should I just buy a new one? If so do you know where to get one and what it’s called?

Off topic. Side note here.

How is that done? What do you mean ".....didn't select".

Like when you do the @ someone you actually have to select their name from the drop down menu otherwise they will never know they were mentioned in a topic. 

Example:

@jdog name selected

@jdog name not selected

I will address my parts catalog and get back to this one here in a bit.
