(7) Inspect the system ground connections at the
engine (Fig. 10). For location of system grounds, refer
to Group 8, Wiring.
(8) Verify that crankcase ventilation (CCV) fresh
air hose is firmly connected to cylinder head and air
cleaner covers (Figs. 11 or 12).
(9) Verify that vacuum hose is firmly connected to
fuel pressure regulator and manifold fitting (Figs. 13
or 14).
(10) Inspect fuel tube quick-connect fitting-to-fuel
rail connections (Fig. 15).
(11) Verify that hose connections to all ports of vac-
uum fittings on intake manifold are tight and not
leaking.
(12) Inspect accelerator cable, transmission throt-
tle cable (if equipped) and cruise control cable con-
nections (if equipped). Check their connections to the
throttle arm of throttle body for any binding or re-
strictions (Fig. 16).
(13) If equipped with vacuum brake booster, verify
that vacuum booster hose is firmly connected to fit-ting on intake manifold. Also check connection to
brake vacuum booster (Fig. 17).
(14) On XJ models equipped with: a 4.0L 6-cylin-
der engine, heavy duty cooling system and/or A/C,

verify that auxiliary radiator cooling fan wire connec-
tor is firmly connected to harness.
(15) Inspect the air cleaner inlet and air cleaner el-
ement for restrictions.(16) Inspect radiator grille area, radiator fins and
air conditioning condenser for restrictions.
(17) Verify that intake manifold air temperature
sensor wire connector is firmly connected to harness
connector (Figs. 18 or 19).

(18) Inspect engine ground strap connections at
dash panel and rear cylinder head bolt (Fig. 20). For
ground locations, refer to Group 8, Wiring.
(19) Verify that MAP sensor electrical connector is
firmly connected to MAP sensor (Fig. 21). Verify that
vacuum hose is firmly connected to MAP sensor and
to the intake manifold.
(20) Verify that fuel injector wire harness connec-
tors are firmly connected to the fuel injectors in the
correct order. Each harness connector is tagged with
the number of its corresponding fuel injector (Fig.
22).
(21) Verify that harness connectors are firmly con-
nected to idle air control (IAC) motor and throttle po-
sition sensor (TPS) (Figs. 18, 19 or 23).
(22) Verify that wire harness connector is firmly
connected to the engine coolant temperature sensor
(Fig. 24).
(23) Verify that oxygen sensor wire connector is
firmly connected to the sensor. Inspect sensor and
connector for damage (Fig. 25).
(24) Raise and support the vehicle.(25) Inspect for pinched or leaking fuel tubes. In-
spect for pinched cracked or leaking fuel hoses.
(26) Inspect for exhaust system restrictions such
as pinched exhaust pipes, collapsed muffler or

plugged catalytic convertor.
(27) If equipped with automatic transmission, ver-
ify that electrical harness is firmly connected to park/
neutral safety switch. Refer to Automatic
Transmission section of Group 21.
(28) Verify that the harness connector is firmly
connected to the vehicle speed sensor (Fig. 26).
(29) Verify that fuel pump module wire connector
is firmly connected to harness connector.
(30) Inspect fuel hoses at fuel pump module for
cracks or leaks (Fig. 27).
(31) Inspect transmission torque convertor housing
(automatic transmission) or clutch housing (manual
transmission) for damage to timing ring on drive
plate/flywheel.
(32) Verify that battery cable and solenoid feed
wire connections to the starter solenoid are tight andclean. Inspect for chaffed wires or wires rubbing up
against other components (Fig. 28).
