Any reason why this would tick? I just got this jeep going , not sure what the previous owner might have messed with



It's the part with the two lines going in

 

Purge solenoid. Loud ticking is pretty normal.

 

It's the vapor canister purge valve and it's supposed to tick. Several other people have mentioned it recently. I guess some are louder than others. Bottom line, don't worry about it.

Here's a link to a previous discussion about the exact same thing with some tips on how to isolate the valve from the body and reduce the noise...

Thanks! Just wondering because my old one was nt so loud

 

Yes I've seen pretty loud ones before.
Good'ol Chrysler engineering.

 

I agree; have seen a pretty wide variation in the noise this valve makes. As long as you're not tripping any codes and can live with the noise, ignore it.

A new one may or may not be quieter, but it is something you could try.

 

I've seen new ones even from the dealer be just as loud. It's just the way it's designed and you gotta accept it.

 

Yeah, I'm fine with the tick. This Cherokee is still a Cadillac compared to my last one
