Default 89 XJ-Hole in Intake?
Is this supposed to be here?



Doesn't seem to make a difference if I cover it.

Nope, push the rubber flexy tube on farther then tighten the hose clamp.

Yup, your rubber hose isn't on all the way. you may need to loosen the clamp first, before it will fit on.

Thank you. I probably missed that when I changed the air filter element. Jeep is new to me with 46K miles. Slowly working my way through Cruiser54's Renix tips. I've replaced plugs, cap & rotor, wires, Rotella T6, Putco wiring harness with upgraded relays and Hella H4, new headlight switch (rheostat failure). Grounds look good, did the separate battery ground.
Great forum.
