What is this?
I found the magic ball, it was hiding behind the bumper, and I did follow the line and it went to the throttle body so yes, I'm pretty sure that thing is what controls my cruise control, because from it a line goes to my throttle.
It's amazing what you learn when things don't work or have holes in them :|
I wonder if this cracked line is causing gas as in air to escape my throttle body :O

Something I have done in the past that I have not done to my Jeep (yet) is go to a hobby shop and get some 1/8", 1/4", and 3/8" brass tubing. Then get some fuel hose to fit each size tubing to attach it to whatever the line needs to go to. I have redone vacuum lines with brass tubing on several cars and never had a problem with cracked/broken line again. Flare the end of the brass tubing so the fuel line can't slide off, secure the fuel line with small clamps. Where ever I needed to make a bend, I used a small tubing bender. If I ran several brass lines side by side, I used an old spark plug wire loom to keep them evenly spaced. It can be a little pricey if you're on a budget, but it really cleans up the cluster f*ck of lines under the hood, and kinda looks sharp, too...

I looked in my factory service manual 4 a 93 zj (only jeep i got that has cruise control). shows a pic of it with an arrow pointing to it saying "Speed Control Servo"
Might be a bit in terms of overkill, but I've never had a brass tube break! LOL Plus it kind of gives a more "hard to kill" or "I don't take no crap" message...

LOL Sending your vehicle a message, let it know who's boss!! Personally I like to talk to mine in OBDII!
LOL! The message isn't FOR the vehicle, it's sent BY the vehicle! It's for anybody that says "what's under the hood?", and it's usually followed by "holy ****" or "Oh. My. God."!



are they just generic if so what size I want to replace them asap.
