EVAP (EVAPORATION) CONTROL SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
The function of the EVAP control system is to pre-
vent the emissions of gasoline vapors from the fuel
tank into the atmosphere. When fuel evaporates in
the fuel tank, the vapors pass through vent hoses or
tubes to a carbon filled EVAP canister. They are
temporarily held in the canister until they can be
drawn into the intake manifold when the engine is
running.
The EVAP canister is a feature on all models for
the storage of fuel vapors from the fuel tank.
The hoses used in this system are specially
manufactured. If replacement becomes neces-
sary, it is important to use only fuel resistant
hose.
EVAP CANISTER
A sealed, maintenance free, EVAP canister is used
on all vehicles. On XJ models, the EVAP canister is
located in the engine compartment on the passenger
side frame rail (Fig. 4). On YJ models, the EVAP
canister is located in the engine compartment on the
dash panel and below the brake master cylinder (Fig.
5). The EVAP canister is filled with granules of an
activated carbon mixture. Fuel vapors entering the
EVAP canister are absorbed by the charcoal gran-
ules.
CANISTER OPERATION
The EVAP canister is equipped with a vacuum con-
trolled purge shutoff switch (orifice) (Figs. 4 or 5)
that controls canister purge operation. The switch is
open when manifold vacuum is applied to it. When
the engine is operating, the EVAP canister purge
function draws fresh air through the top of the can-
ister. This causes the stored vapors to be drawn out
of the canister and into the airstream in the air
cleaner snorkel (Fig. 6).
The air cleaner contains a venturi in the air
cleaner cover used as a purge line vacuum source
(Fig. 6). The venturi effect increases the speed of the
intake air flowing by the slots in the venturi wall.
This creates a low pressure area around the slots.
When the purge shutoff switch is open, vapors from
the canister are drawn through slots and into the
airstream flowing through the venturi (Fig. 7). The
vapors pass through the intake manifold into the en-
gine combustion chambers where they are consumed
during engine combustion.
FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE CAP
The fuel tank filler tube cap incorporates a two-
way relief valve that is closed to atmosphere during
normal operating conditions. The relief valve used in
fuel filler caps of all models is calibrated at a pres-
sure of 10 kPa (1.5 psi) or a vacuum of 6 kPa (1.8 in.
Hg). When the pressure or vacuum is relieved, the
valve returns to the normally closed position.

CAUTION: The fuel filler cap must be removed prior
to disconnecting any fuel system component.
CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM
All 2.5L 4 cylinder and 4.0L 6 cylinder engines are
equipped with a Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) system
(Figs. 8 or 9). The CCV system performs the same
function as a conventional PCV system, but does not
use a vacuum controlled valve.
On 4.0L engines, a molded vacuum tube connects
manifold vacuum to top of cylinder head (valve)
cover at dash panel end. The vacuum tube contains afixed orifice of a calibrated size. It meters the
amount of crankcase vapors drawn out of the engine.
On 2.5L engines, a fitting on drivers side of cylin-
der head (valve) cover contains the metered orifice. It
is connected to manifold vacuum.
A fresh air supply hose from the air cleaner is con-
nected to front of cylinder head cover on 4.0L en-
gines. It is connected to rear of cover on 2.5L
engines.
When the engine is operating, fresh air enters the
engine and mixes with crankcase vapors. Manifold
vacuum draws the vapor/air mixture through the
fixed orifice and into the intake manifold. The vapors
are then consumed during combustion.
PRESSURE RELIEF/ROLLOVER VALVE
All vehicles are equipped with a combination fuel
tank pressure relief and rollover valve (Fig. 10). This
dual function valve will relieve fuel tank pressure
and also prevent fuel flow through the fuel tank vent
hoses in the event of an accidental vehicle rollover.

The valve incorporates a pressure relief mechanism
(Fig. 11) that releases fuel tank pressure when the
pressure increases above the calibrated sealing
value. Refer to the Fuel Tank section of Group 14,
Fuel Systems for removal and installation proce-
dures.

AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner used on all models (Figs. 1 or 2) is
open to ambient air. The blend air door and vacuum
motor that was used on engines of previous model
years to supply heated air, is no longer used. The air
cleaner housing assembly contains the engine air fil-
ter.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
air temperature in the intake manifold through the
Intake Manifold Air Temperature sensor. The PCM
adjusts injector pulse width and ignition timing to
compensate for intake air temperature. Refer to Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) in Group 14, Fuel Sys-
tem for more information.
Refer to the Component Removal/Installation sec-
tion of this group for removal and installation proce-
dures.
OXYGEN (O2S) SENSOR
For description, operation, diagnosis and removal/
installation procedures of the O2S sensor, refer to
