i went to run some seafoam through my car today, and had a hell of a time trying to get the vacuum line out (the one that runs into the TB). how hard should it be to get out?

i was mainly afraid of ruining the damn thing, as it seemed like the tube went in there pretty good. should i be worried about breaking anything?

 

which one? i wouldnt worry about it.....dependin on location sometimes the weather and enviroment does numbers to em....

 

vaccume line on the TB? the one you should be using is that one right next to the IAC line, it should just slide right out

 

Nice was very hard to get out also! I used some WD-40 Lubricant and used a flat head screw driver and gently slid it off! Take your time it will be find I love ur White GT with the Blue also by the way! Anyway you could get some pics up for us?

 

nevermind

 

check out the attached picture... that is the line i was talking about. i meant plenum, not throttle body, as i described before.

rather than taking the tube completely off of the plenum, there is plastic line that runs into it - i was trying to remove it from there. there was a great tutorial that i saw where the person had done that.

man, i just went back and tried again... what a bitch! any tips on getting that hose loosened up so i can take the plastic rod out of it?

 

Twist the hose first (clockwise and counter-clockwise), you can even use a pliers if your carefull.

 

i had no clue it was that hard....wow

i need to undo mine here soon to put my plenum on.....

 

alright, finally got it... i wedged a flathead screwdriver head between the hose and the plastic rod while pulling each side... popped off after a bit.

was a bit disappointed with the results... didnt get much smoke at all. but i guess that is a good thing. 36k on an '01.

going to do another application in a couple days tho and finish off the bottle. im thinking maybe i didnt put enough in or let it sit long enough.
