Default No smoke for Daddy...

Went to Autozone today and bought some SeaFoam. Figured since I live in a neighborhood of older people that I would wait until night to use it. Got out of the neighborhood and pulled into a parking lot. I disconnected the vacuum and the car died immediatley, added a third of the can. Then a third to the oil and a third to the gas. Got the car started and it sounded like it was drowning. Not the most comfortable feeling when I heard that but it started to breath again and I pulled out of the parking lot.

Soooooooo, I get going and just like the title says. NO SMOKE FOR DADDY!! I went for about an tour around Montgomery county and no smoke at all. I could smell the difference in the exhaust and I could tell some difference in the throttle response so I'm glad I made the purchase. Just wondering where all the smoke that everyone talks about was.

Any thoughts? Not enough in the vacuum line? [sm=gears.gif]

There was no keeping the car alive. I unplugged it and it just shut down. After that I just poured it in.

01stangt: SeaFoam is something you can put in the vacuum lines, oil and gas. It will help clean out the carbon deposits that have built up. I'll get a link to so you can see what I'm talking about.
