OK I finally have air blowing out of all the vents...problem solved right? I'm not sure. I believe that I have it working but not the way it was intended. There are 2 vacuum lines coming from the firewall on the passenger side for the A/C system (white & black). The white one is connected to a vacuum canister (small) near the passenger side of the engine. The black one is a really long tube which I believe this was the one going to the vacuum canister behind the front bumper. This is where it gets interesting. I've never seen the vacuum canister because frankly I don't have one due to the XJ being in a front end collission before I bought it. So this guy just had the line sitting in the engine bay. (This would explain why everyone says to look under the battery for it and it wasn't there).
I also have one more loose vacuum line, this is the best description of where it is. If you are in front of the jeep looking at the engine bay, there's a hose coming off of a connector on the right side of the engine, on top, behind the fuel rail. This hose has a suction to it. I have no clue what that's supposed to go to. Here's the interesting part. Since I have no idea if the black hose from the firewall was the only one going to the cannister behind the bumper, out of desperation I attached the two hoses end to end and VOILA! I had air coming out of the vents. I completed the vacuum cycle, but is this the correct way to do it? Is there another line coming out of the vacuum canister going somewhere? I just want to make sure this is correct and that I'm not inhaling engine gasses and I'm gonna die down the road somewhere. Thanks!
