On my 83 CJ7 I6 258, there is an aluminum hose which is running from the bottom of my air filter housing down to what looks like the exhaust manifold (can't see clearly yet).
Does anyone know what this is for? Function? Also, what is it called?
Thanks,
Bill
Heat riser tube, intake air is drawn from the exhaust area until engine warms up. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com
If this part was disconnected, would it cause the engine to run poorly? What issues/characteristics would happen if this tube was disconnected?
Thanks,
Bill
It just helps your engine warm up faster and prevents carb icing in high humidity.
