Can someone with an 97+ without cruise take a look for me and see if that line is my problem?

 

first and formost, check the accumulator ball behind the front bumper. follow the lines from that.
i know on the tj's when this happens, it is usually the t-junction on the firewall, middle, where it splits and goes inside the tub.

you may want to check that area, kinda behind the valve cover. i'm sure it's somewhat the same design.

the smoke idea is good too. you can unplug a line at the accumulator ball and blow smoke from there. open your hood to see if it is coming from behind the valve cover as well as inside the cabin.

does your jeep idle high?

 

Okay, Ill check the lines as best as possible, its like 5* outside and I don't really want too. Haha but I guess I need too...

I really like that ball idea..I might do it friday when its gonna be 50 out. hahaha

But no I dont think so. I mean it idles around 800 or so?

 

Why make it so complicated? You hear it leaking under the dash - why look at the vacuum reservoir ball behind the bumper?
Why not look in the neighbor's microwave too?

Who knows what vacuum line goes where - do you think it switched places all by itself?
Something came loose or cracked - smoke will find it in seconds.

You don't need a cigar. You don't need to get complicated - your neighbor might object to you looking in his kitchen.

Simple, easy, fast - 30 seconds, and free!
It just takes an IQ above 6.

 

Haha okay then what should I do?

I did like your idea cage.

So if I took the vac ball hose and blew smoke into it..If no smoke would come out then there would be no leak right? Or does the "extra" air come like out some where.

Sorry I may have a 1000 posts but I still dont know anything. haha

 

well, with my experience, when the tj's heater wouldn't switch and there was an air loss noise behind the dash, it was the vac line at the splitter under the hood.

you can pull the line at the accumulator ball to blow smoke from there, this should tell you if it's a cracked like between there and the splitter, or undo the splitter and blow smoke from there and check behind the dash. you should be able to smell the smoke from there if nothing else.

 

Now if I have no crack or leack, will the smoke still go into the cab?

 

What are you smoken? No, if there is no crack or leak the smoke won't go through it.

 

Haha I had no idea?

 

I have the same problem, (almost). There is a hiss in my dash, but I have plenty of smoke. I'm putting off finding it.

 

I can't believe how stupid you are -
