Hey guys my friends 97 Tj is giving him issues and he sent me pictures. He is over 2.5 hours away and I cant make time to get to him currently. He is trying to hook up what appears to be his CCV hose, but has no place to put it. Im attaching the pictures he sent me. Could one of you guys, if you have this engine, post a diagram on where its supposed to go? I tried diagrams online but his isn't matching, it also looks like it has some kind of cold air intake. He bought it that way.

Thank you in advance
-Brad

That's supposed to go to the air intake tube (it has a provision for it I believe).

Of course someone was an idiot (hopefully not him) and strapped a air filter right onto the throttle body.... Haha!

Perhaps @Rob5589, @StG58, or someone with a 4 cylinder can confirm (or deny) this for me.

That was my first thought "wtf"

I told him to try and get a factory one and install that.

Anyone else got input? Haha

Yeah, that air filter set up is just plain stupid. On my 4.0, that line goes right into the air intake tube.

So, my guess is that it's the same thing with the 4 cylinder model as well. Hopefully he saved the stock airbox and tube.

OK, the CCV hose hooks directly to the back of the air box on the 2.5.

No air box:

No way to hook up the CCV tubing.
That's a bad setup, right there.
