Ignorant question.

Jan 14, 2005 8 Replies

Today I finally managed to start Project Jeep Deere for the first time in several years of building/therapy. The CJ-7 has a new MPFI kit and a new exhaust. My question is this:



The new down pipe from the exhaust manifold to the cat has a small 1", or so, tube sticking up a few inches back from the manifold. What is it for?



It's been too long since I started the build and I am too excited to crack a book to figure it out. So my post is two-fold 1)I get a question answered and 2) I get to toot my own horn about my first vehicle build.



Thanks for helping! Really, this group, and it's denizens, has been a great source of info and support!


Possibly to pre-heat the air going to the air filter?

Possibly. I just don't recall. Right now all I know is there Nuthin' like the smell of stickers burning off a new exhaust pipe! Woo-Hoo!

Now that I know that I didn't leave a rag in the cylinder head or mice didn't move into the manifold, I can move on to re-assembly of the body. Hopefully I can get that done before my 11 y.o. graduates!

I had one on My toyota Tercel with Throttle Body Injected carb, It was to heat up the Engine or the carb. If you had a carb before and switch to EFI i guess you dont need it anymore, and you can probabbly use a plomber accessory to block it.?? !! did you buy the original replacement ?

That is where the air injection system "upstream" air enters the exhaust system. The "downstream" air enters in the middle of the cat converter.

The MPI system probably doesn't use air injection.

ahh, yes, I'll see what I can do...
