1990 wrangler 4 wheel drive vacuum line?
I have a 1990 Jeep Wrangler who's vacuum lines have been disconnected.
I need help sorting them out as to what goes where. I think I have most of them connected properly but my 4 wheel drive light is on, but when you ramp up the rpms it goes out. I just need some help getting the lines in their proper places so the Wrangler idles rather than stalling. Thanks for the help Jeremy |

To fix the stalling, there is a black plastic line that goes from the
driver's side of the engine down to the vac switch on the driver's side of the transfer case. Find the line and plug it, that should get your engine running correctly. If not, keep working on the vac lines. To check out the vac operated axle disconnect, hook up the vac line to the transfer case switch. With the engine running, CAREFULLY pull the connector to the front axle off the vac motor. The green line should have a slight vac with the transfer case in 2wd, the yellow line should have vac in 4wd. If it doesn't switch back and forth, replace the vac switch on the transfer case, $25 from the dealer. If no vac on either, you have a bad vac line somewhere. Your symptoms sound like a cracked vac line or trashed rubber connector for the line to the switch or vac motor. Pretty common for that vintage Jeep.

Automatic. Here is a good site for most things to do with the 4.2. http://home.sprynet.com/~dale02/list.htm Is the emissions computer still in the loop? That can mean lots of the vacuum line stuff is not needed. The bad idle can be unrelated to the vacuum lines. That carb is notorious for getting plugged up idle tubes. Here is a site on the test for this and the fix: http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/engine/carter.html If you have oil blowing into the air filter, that can be another reason for bad idle with an easy fix.

Thanks for the site. I looked up the vacuum lines and to the best of my
knowledge hooked them up. Only problem is my set up varies from that on the site and Im not sure of I hooked up the lines correctly to the carb. That is the only problem I am having know is the lines from/to the car. IE the decel valve and I am pretty sure I do not have a pulse air valve on the drives side. If anyone can help that would be awesome Thanks Jeremy |

If you don't have the decel valve or the pulse air system, no worries.
There are a ton of varieties of emissions components according to what part of the world the Jeep was sold in. Oh, both pulse air valves if you have them are on the passenger side. That drawing is just a schematic, not a design. If the decel valve is what I think it is, it is a factory defective part that doesn't work. It was or another one was behind the carb and was tied into the charcoal canister as well. The replacement is just a T or straight fitting to have air flow.

Oh, the straight fitting would be in the pulse air tube, you don't want
that sucking in the back side of the carb or it won't run for crap. The purge from the canister should also just T into the PCV line behind the carb with not valve in the way.

Yeah I got that much. The Jeep now wont fire it turns over fine. Also
it kinda sputters when I first turn the key on and or off. Here are a few pics of my carb hopefully it works... <a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i10.tinypic.com/30tntwy.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> |

Yeah I got those hooked up. Just now it turns over but will not fire.

Is it flooded out? They can flood bad enough to need the plugs aired
out. Is the carb getting gas? If you look down the throat of the carb and give the throttle a shot with your hand, you should see two streams of gas squirting.

Its not flooded and it is getting gas. I'm thinking the distributor
line might be hooked up wrong. That or maybe my TAC vacuum line that goes to the carb is in the wrong place. I'm trying anything and everything at this point. It all looks good until I get to the carb. I think I may have lines in the wrong places. |

Stock your distributor should be hooked to a bottom plate nipple off the
carb on the right side facing the engine from the front. The nipple might branch off the brake booster line. The TAC comes off the back drivers side corner of the carb bottom plate.

I have checked and re-checked all vacuum lines they look good. Engine
turns over but will not fire. But every now and then it will fire up and run fine. If anyone has some more advice that would be greatly appreciated. Jeremy |

Maybe spin it faster with another battery jumped?

Dead body ground will cause symptoms like that. There is supposed to be
a wire mesh strap from the engine head to the firewall. When this goes bad, you can get those symptoms. Bad connection on the starter relay that sits on the firewall at the end of the small battery cable. The green wire I believe is the one to clean.

Ok so I checked all of that and cleaned them.
It seems like its getting to much gas and choking its self out. But it runs for a few minutes slowly dies out and will only start back up after it has been sitting for a couple of minutes. Git any other ideas lol. Thanks Jeremy |

Has the catalytic converter been checked to see if it is clogged?

Its not clogged at all.
I have also checked the distributor and all of its connections it is getting a spark. Could it be a bad stepper coming off the back of the carb? Jeremy |

Has this Jeep ever run or did you buy it dead and in pieces?

It ran but leaked oil so I had replaced the head gaskets on the engine
and in doing so the guy who helped me didn't label the vacuum lines. Like I said it runs great and idles but only for aboud 5 min. then dies out and cannot restart till it cools down. |
1990 wrangler 4 wheel drive vacuum line?
Any chance the distributor got messed with or the wires like cylinder 3
and 4 got mixed up? They cross strange. When in doubt, the firing order is stamped on the intake manifold on most vehicles, Jeep engines in particular but the order is 1,5,3,6,2,4 in a clockwise order with #1 in the cap normally about 5 or 6:00 with 12:00 at the engine block.

Oh, I also would be pulling the plugs to see what's up with them. They
tell a story. Mike Mike Romain wrote: > > Any chance the distributor got messed with or the wires like cylinder 3 > and 4 got mixed up?

The plugs are all hooked up right and look good.The engine is getting a
spark but Im thinking the problem lies in the carb and the plunger. |
1990 wrangler 4 wheel drive vacuum line?
Have you given it a good cleaning with something like Gumout Jet Spray or
Chemtool B12? "Jeremy" > wrote in message ups.com... > The plugs are all hooked up right and look good.The engine is getting a > spark but Im thinking the problem lies in the carb and the plunger. > |

The plugs 'can't' look good with the running description you are giving
us. You should look at the plugs once it stalls to see what they look like now, not when you put them in. Did you have the carb off or apart when you did the head gasket?
