Ok thank you Dan but what about if someone gets a Cold Air Intake system and it sucks in more air then the Stock Air Intake, then what? Will they have to change the fuel to air ratio? What is best- to much air to to little gas or to little air to to much gas
The throttle body is what allows the actual air-flow into the engine.
Thats what I do anyways. My foot is to the floor with the pedal because my throttle valve is way off. You can pop my hood and find my TV cable- Throttle Valve Cable- and pull it and see that it will pull about an inch and then stop. Thats how bad my TV Cable is off and its sucking my gas down.
Actually, the Throttle Valve cable goes to the trans and helps control the shifting/downshifting. It can be adjusted.
I knew that but since my TV Cable is so off its robbing my engine of air and using to much gas and not enough air. How can i fix it, i KNOW there is something underneath the jeep that you mess with to fix it. I saw my friend work on his 98 dodge durango and he got underneath it and twisted something and it fixed it. Where is and what is mine.

I recently deleted the resonator sitting on top of the intake manifold on my XJ 4.0 1998 - didn't recognize any change in mpg or hps. However the exhaust sound got a tad louder and the heat at the intake is dissipated much more efficiently
x2 even a cold air intake will give you around 8 more hp and thats at something like 5k rpm so unless you roll around with your foot stomping the gas all the time you wont notice a thing
Curious where you got the numbers. All of the documented dyno data I have seen showed no change or even a slight negative effect when adding a cold air intake, especially the snorkel becaue it has to pull the air that much farther which increases friction. IMHO just install a K&N air filter or get a different vehicle.
I have a '99 XJ 2.5 2WD bored .030 over and a '99 XJ 4.0 4WD and yes the 4.0 has more horsepower but with todays gasoline prices I'm digging the mileage I get from the 4 banger, especially compared to my diesel truck which gets about the same mileage as my 4.0. If you want more power (and problems) consider a turbo.
