1989 Jeep YJ Hose

1989 Jeep YJ 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual

I have a hose that runs down to a hard line along the exhaust. It looks like it runs from one side of the block to the other. The hard line is broke. What is it called so I can fix it.

There are two hard lines that come down under the jeep on the pasanger side then run over to drivers side and up. One of the hard lines is crimped closed, the other one is rusted in two. where it clampes on to the exhaust under the rig it lookes like it melted.

OK, sound like air injection or EGR pipes, just can't get a good pic to see if that is what your problem may be, still looking.

Do you still have the air pump fitted?
