This is mainly just a check to see if my cheap fix is viable and won't cause too many problems until I can put it back to OEM.
The PO of my Jeep apparently blocked of the CCV orifice on the rear of my valve cover and rerouted the vac line that went from the intake manifold (originally attached to the CCV) and attached it to the front vent on my valve cover (which is actually supposed to go to my air cleaner (he put on a bufu air intake setup).
Here is the diagram from my engine bay, near the cowl:
This is what he did in a photo. The blue arrow was blocked off, and the hose attached there was actually attached to the red arrow. I have what appears (smells) like wet fuel in my intake when I pull the air cleaner tube of the TB. This is aside shot from the driver's side:
This is what I did here. I rerouted the Vac line from the intake manifold back to a CCV valve and bought a cheapo mini air cleaner and mounted on the front of the valve cover. A shot from the front:
Does anyone see any issue with this setup until I can fix it within the next couple of days?? I just figured since the front went to the stock airbox, then I could put an air cleaner on there for now and be somewhat back to normal here.
I test drove it maybe a mile or so and checked the intake again, and the fuel(??) seemed to dry up some. Or am I wrong, and it's a bigger issue than I think?
Thanks guys.
