Relocation of/ Running without Vapor Canister/Ball

[BlueXJ]

Open vac lines diminish the vacuum to certain sensors and give incorrect readings to your ECU, thus less efficient running engine. Often resulting in less fuel economy, so that would be enough reason to seal vacuum leaks for me.(I'm cheap)

I just moved mine to the little bit of space beside the battery. I,ve always wondered what it was for but never thought about it when I was online.

I ran mine up into the engine compartment ad zip tied it on top of the power dist. box. Found alot of bad lines during the process so I shortened most of them and repaired the bad. Heater worked alot better after this was done.

Hey thanks alot guys. I'm going to pick up some hose and see which works best. Will definately let you know how it turns out.

My jeep is definately runnin a lil poor because of it. I agree w/ that. And my vent wouldn't blow out the center of the "forward" for a bit....

You can actually make one out of PVC. I was reading on a hypermiler site that this guy made one out of 3" PVC that was over a foot long. He did the math and had 3 times the area of his OEM.

I'm not saying you need to upgrade, but you could build one out of PVC that would be eaiser to mount out of the way.

Hoping for a new cure from an old post! lol, 98 xj 4.0 surges than runs fine for a short while, then surges sputters for 2-3 miles than runs fine. I found the rear U joint had broke at some point and shattered the emissions canister next to rear of drive shaft. I have blocked them off except the roll over line to tank but still running like crap......any ideas???

First of all do not block off those lines, replace and reconnect this can cause fuel issues. Do you have a check eng light on ? Codes ? check fuel pressure at the rail ? When is the last time you replaced the fuel filter ? and lastly .. where is Traverse city Michigan ?
