Ok so I moved the bottle behind my front bumper to under the hood and ever since I did that at start up it runs rough for a littler then clears up. Any idea why?

Probably have a leak someplace.
Is there still a line running next to the battery?
I had a really bad section of plastic hose there and it was leaking..

What year and model?
With bottle you mean the vacuum reservoir?
Make sure you got all lines still connected and check for leaks. If you relocating it gave you a problem, than first thing is: check the work done.
another reason for rough running on start up that clears after a little while: the engine clearing excess fuel from i.e. a leaking injector

89 xj renix engine yea I got to double check the lines. Dose it matter what line gose where to the bottle I think I have them correct?

Renix....I'll make place for those with more experience with this...

If it ran fine before you moved it, it's likely you introduced a vacuum leak. Not sure about Renix but on my '98 the vacuum lines are hard plastic and prone to cracking, especially when you bend them out of the stock location.

yea ill check them. i wonder if i can use the smoke machine and smoke the lines out to see exactly where? also if i put the lines on the bottle in the wrong spots dose that make a diff?

Roler

One would assume so....connecting lines the wrong way....

i smoke tested the system and no leaks. i dont know if the lines are on the wrong way can someone take a pic of there so i can double check i have no idea what it could be. its like it almost dosnt wanna idle at start up every since i moved the bottle.

Where did you move it to under the hood?
