First of all this is on a 94 ZJ v8. So i just started cleaning out my enging area and disco'd the batter and took the battery tray out. Underneath it was what i think is some type of vacumm thingy and there was a tube connected to it and when i pulled it off you could hear all the air. so i thought it was normal..then i continue to clean the area and when i put everything back. i start the car and it makes a weird noise that it did not make before i cleaned the engine.

Any ideas?

That canister is a vacuum reserve canister... nothing more. You wouldn't have harmed the ZJ by disconnecting it but the vacuum would have had to rebuild the first time you started it after that. Also, by disconnecting the battery you effectively caused the computer to reset back to factory defaults. The first time you start it after that it'll have to retrain itself. Not a big deal either.

What kind of sound did it make?

hey, its all fixed now..i guess it just needed some time for the vacumm to rebuild.
