95 xj 4.0

This plastic fitting or junction is located on the passenger side of the engine, has three coolant hoses and what appears to be a vacum line and vacum switch. Located just in front of the fire wall and one of the hoses that run into it run parallel with the valve cover just above the spark plug wires. I broke this thing and can't seem to find it in my wonderful Chiltons manual. If anyone knows what it is please let me know so I can order one.

Thanks

That thing broke on me too and I ordered one through the dealership. I checked my copy of the FSM (only have portions) and my receipts for that part number and I can't find it. Frustrating for me since I keep all receipts. Anyway, the dealership should be able to figure it out by checking their illustrated parts breakdown book or computer program at the parts department.

sounds like the heater control valve. it blocks/allows hot coolant to flow through the heater core when you trurn the heater on.

Heater Control Valve... Busted mine while cleaning and re-mounting Valve cover.

Scooped two up at the local Bone Yard for $5.00 each.:cool:
One out of a Crysler Van, the other from a Crysler Dynasty. The only Pic of that part is in the FSM.
