Hi guys,
Well as you all know by now (probably) I recently purchased an 01 TJ1 exec from the auctions with a stuffed engine as a project and I would use my TL wreck's engine in it. Well I have been working on the project and well this weekend I'm all ready to swap the engines. Spent all last weekend getting it prepared (like removing and labeling pipes and wires removing other parts etc). However, I noticed that when I looked at my TLs engine, it had a gold thing that sits above the throttle lever and has a pipe which connects to a black plastic device near the P/S reservoir. I then looked at the TJ's engine and it does not. I was thinking when I do the swap, I could just cover the pipe outlet on the gold thing and not use it however I don't know what it does or why it is there. So does anyone think they can help? I have included pictures with the parts circled to aid my explanation.
Thanks in advance
