1984 xj running a rebuilt 2.5L 4banger. it drives and the engine is pretty much stock except for a two barrel carb. this is my first jeep and my 'practice' vehicle as I only paid $400 for it. When driving it (especially with the vents on) you can smell exhaust. I looked at the exhaust manifold and there is an open pipe. I looked at a newer xj and there was a hose running from the air intake to the exhaust manifold, at least that is what it looked like from what i could see. is there a hose that runs to the exhaust manifold because as of right now the exhaust is going out the manifold into the engine compartment and out of the manifold down the headers through the exhaust? what am i missing there?
