All vehicles are equipped with a combined VECI la-
bel. The label is located in the engine compartment
(Figs. 1 or 2). The label contains the following:
²Engine family and displacement
²Evaporative family
²Emission control system schematic²Certification application
²Engine timing specifications (if adjustable)
²Idle speeds (if adjustable)
²Spark plug and plug gap
The label also contains an engine vacuum sche-
matic. There are unique labels for vehicles built for
sale in the state of California and the country of
Canada. Canadian labels are written in both the En-
glish and French languages. These labels are perma-
nently attached and cannot be removed without
defacing information and destroying label.

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 tem-
porarily 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 can-
ister 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 granules.
CANISTER OPERATION
Vacuum is used to control and operate the
EVAP canister. No electrical circuitry is used to
control or operate the EVAP system.
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 air-
stream flowing through the venturi (Fig. 7). The va-
pors pass through the intake manifold into the
engine combustion chambers where they are con-
sumed during engine combustion.
FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE CAP
The fuel tank filler tube cap (fuel tank cap) incor-
porates a two-way pressure/relief valve that is closed
to atmosphere during normal operating conditions.Fig. 4 EVAP Canister LocationÐXJ Models
Fig. 5 EVAP Canister LocationÐYJ Models
25 - 4 EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMSJ
The relief valve used in fuel filler caps of all models
is calibrated at a pressure 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 6 cylinder engines, a molded vacuum tube
connects manifold vacuum to top of cylinder head
(valve) cover at dash panel end. The vacuum tube
contains a fixed orifice of a calibrated size. It meters
the amount of crankcase vapors drawn out of the en-
gine.
On 2.5L 4 cylinder engines, a fitting on drivers side
of cylinder 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.
