00 Cherokee 4x4 slight knock
#18
Here is another thread discussing this with a better pic and the name of the part. If this is what is knocking, everything is normal evidently.

[QUOTE=bryanboonern;361673]I think this is it here. I wish I could remember the name of it. Put your hand on it while idling and see if you feel it knocking.
purge solenoid its probably sticking, replace it or clean it out with carb cleaner

Normal clicking from it is normal,but its only suppose to open at cruising speeds, and it shouldnt be loud enough to hear inside the car

I very much doubt that's the oil pressure sending unit. How is that going to detect oil pressure mounted on the firewall? The OPSU needs to be mounted in the block- on my jeep it's located just above the oil filter.
Purge solenoid looks and sounds a lot more reasonable.

Correction... sorry fantic238- I didn't read your entire post- it probably would have helped if I'd of noticed the quote you included from petesxj!

thanks guys, i dont believe it is the purge solenoid because i cannot hear it from the engine bay, only from inside the cab. I am going to look at it and post up what i find on Saturday.
Thanks again
Thanks again

Mine was like that too. You can't hear it with the hood open, but you can hear it in the cab. Just put your hand on it and see if you feel it knocking.
