Default Spark Plugs make me happy!!!

Well i have been having major problems with my track times (9.4 in the 1/8th) and hopefully the new spark plugs will help fix them. I put in the NGK TR55's and am initially extremely happy with the results. Seems my car idles much easier now and engine sounds better overall. Took it on the interstate and feels like a smoother powerband and increased acceleration also. Just hope its not all in my head.
P.S. I bought a can of SEAFOAM but am reluctant to put it in my engine. I want to put it through the vaccum line but am not quite sure which one that is. I would hate to put it in the wrong hose and screw something up so can anybody tell me which vaccum line i should put it in. A Picture would be great if you have one. Thanks.

just suck some of it up through your pvc valve(tube comes off on the side of your tb) then put it in the gas and oil. peaple say to change the oil after. ive never tried it. my car only has 7k miles on it.

Would seafoam help clean up the IAC and EGR?

Thanks for the help.

I also brought this product and it has been sitting on the shelf because I didn't know which line was the vacuum line. The video helps!

if you look at your plenum straight on, the vaccuum line is the last rubber hose on the right on the side facing you. simply disconnect it from the plastic piece that runs into it, an pour the seafoam directly into it as described in the video.

however, the video mentions to use 1/3 can... id use the whole thing.

Rudemood,

Are you talking about the 90 degree tube that is under the IAC?

Yeah I read that. The bottom bolt is tight for the tools I have. I'll just have to get an extension tomorrow and clean it up that way.

EDIT: That tap with the wrench on Saturday helped a little!! LOL
