I'll start by apologizing for the out-of-focus photo . . . 'best I seemed to be able to do!
This is an 88 XJ, 4.0L. The oval-shaped grommet on the right side of the throttle body into which attaches the vacuum line to the MAP sensor, keeps popping-out of the throttle body. As you can imagine, this causes quite a vacuum leak.
Now, I can glue it back and that's probably okay but I just thought I'd ask if anyone else has experienced this and whether it might be a sign of some other ptoblem.
We own 3 XJ's - - - many, many miles and this has never happened. 'Poke it back in place and it stays for several days. I think I'll just clean the surfaces and glue it on there (yes, I'll be careful not to get the glue where it shouldn't be). I'll probably use a rubber-type cement.
'Any input before I do this? Thanks! Don
