haha thast funny...well at least you got it fixed....i read on the jeepforum that someone when to jiffylube for a brake service and the tech told the him that he had a little brake fluid left and found a sweet spot for it....later the week his jeep would barely run, after diagnosing himself (since he didnt really have much more, but he also didnt pocess the mechanical skills needed) for about 6 weeks he found the brake fuild bottle slide up and was blocking the intake (why the jiffylube guy would find a place UNDER the hood of the car is beyond me but he did)....he removed it and everything ran fine....

sigh... I really just need to replace the intake tube with a straight pipe. I've looked a couple of times at the electrical conduit (Dr. Z's recommendation for a good fit) and I couldn't find what I needed. I need to look harder.
