Vac Leak
Ok...here's a question? My jeep has a vac leak somewhere around the
firewall. I've checked and looked all over the place but can't find
it....and to make things worse you can only hear it when your on the
highway (quits when you exit and stop to check lol)and let me tell
ya....its a loud one! Stranger yet is sometimes you can see smoke
rising from the dash lol. Anybody have an idea?

Re: Vac Leak
Your heater control is vacuum. The line hooks up on the drivers side of
the control up under the dash I think.

If you have power brakes, check the vac. fitting and hose. That comes
straight off the manifold.

Re: Vac Leak
Yeah thats happend to me before but this is on the engine side of the
firewall. Plus its hurting the performance of my engine big
time....sounds like the valves are opening late. It pops and sputters
for about a mile or two after I exit the highway and then clears up?
There are some vac switches behind the air cleaner? What are those
for?
