1996 Cherokee Questions.
Hi,
As you were so helpful with my last questions I was hoping that someone
could shed some light on two further problems I have found withg my Jeep.
1) The airvents that blow warm or cold air into the cab seem to close at
3000 revs and above for some bizarre reason. Also when I switch it on to hot
it just comes through as slightly warm.
2) The engine temperature gauge shows that the engine is running at just
above 40 degrees - surely it should be higher?
Any help gratefully received.
Jay

Re: 1996 Cherokee Questions.
You are describing a vacuum leak. The main fitting for the heater comes
off the manifold at the back. I would start looking there for a cracked
fitting or line. The temp controller also works on vacuum, no vacuum =
cold air.
The lines also run up to a vacuum reservoir that is under the front
bumper I think.

Re: 1996 Cherokee Questions.
OK - I can't find it. I was dumb enough to forget to tell you which engine
it was - it's the 2.5 petrol.

Re: 1996 Cherokee Questions.
In the newer US models it is located on the passenger side behind the
bumper, underneath the headlight, next to the horn and you have to remove
the bumper end cap to access the vacuum chamber.
Yours may be there also although that would make it the driver's side. I
will profess ignorance on the configuration of right hand drive vehicles....
