Just used seafoam for first time
Well I just dumped seafoam in for the first time. I'm letting her sit for 5 minutes then I'll start her back up and see how much smoke I get. I'll try to get some video with my camera if I can. Did a little in the fuel, little in the crankcase and the rest in through the PCV as well. Check back for video later.
By the way, how long does it usually take to stop smoking? Anyone know? I've got car shows this weekend and I'm hoping she'll be cleared by tomorrow morning.

RE: Just used seafoam for first time
I used seafoam last week...I put probably 60-70% of the can in my PCV valve...then the rest in the gas. I let it sit for about five minutes, went out, started her up. And WHOAAAA...
I didn't see nothing. No change, no smoke, nothing. I'm 99% sure I did everything right, and after seeing my air and fuel filter (I just got the car a few months ago...) I don't think that my internals are that clean. I dunno...

Stop smoking after about 20 mins of some good hard driving. Its gonna run so much better. Did you get that miss taken care of?

Well I suppose I'll take her out and embarass her for a few minutes and me, lol. My poor baby smoking. I took some videos of the smoke show and also some of the supercharger just at idle and the exhaust sound. I'll go take her for a drive then come back and post the vids. Oh yeah, what's that site that everyone seems to use all the time for vids? I signed up there but can't remember. Something with fire or whatever in the name.

RE: Just used seafoam for first time
Oh yeah about the misfire. I DON'T KNOW, lol. I unplugged everything one by one and replugged it all. Only thing I can think of is a loose connection somewhere. It still seems to want to choke for gas sometimes, but not all the time. I just think the A/F ratio is off from the new intake, but I could be wrong. Dynotune didn't happen this week, so I'm looking into next week now.

It has to be green. How about you get in front of my car so I can run you over and then bury you in a green casket. Or I can just beat the **** out of you for the fun of it. Your choice!
