I don't think it does anything but make your car smoke. Can anyone ACTUALLY, FEEL a difference in your car after its used. Who knows if its really the carbon coming out. Its probably just the 100% pure petroleum that it is, burning in the engine. That stuff probably cost a dime to make and bottle, and they sell it for 6 bucks a can, what a money maker. It seems like just snake-oil to me. Just something to think about. I'll probably end up trying it out sometime anway though. haha.

I've read you can put it in your crank case, your gas tank, and then to answer your question 00GT00, you can tug on the throttle cable to keep your engine running when you pour it intoyour PCV.

yes but it smokes less and less... SO i guess its for real. My cousin always put combustion chamber cleaner down in chamber directly from pulling the spark plugs put , says it makes it feel new! and yes it smoked like hell while doing it.

I'm scared to use any fuel additives in my car, since I'm blown....wouldnt adding a fuel injector cleaner lean out my A/F ratio and possibly cause detonation? <--- paranoid!

well thats either true, or it could just be the petroleum slowly burning away, who knows, maybe it really is carbon....

Its a hose connected to the upper plenum. Someone on here has a pic and circled it, I couldn't tell you exactly which hose though.

What I did tomake the car continue to run with the hose off was use a funnel and a bouncy ball. I know it sounds stupid, but all I did was find a funnel with a long skinny spout and then I stuck it into the rubber hoseof the PCV vacuum line. I then took a small bouncy ball that was big enough to totally block the hole. The suction sucks hard enough to pull a small amount of air by the ball. I then poured some of the seafoam into the funnel and the suction of the vacuum pulled it past the ball and into to line. By doing it this way, I was able to keep the car running smoothly and too much of the seafoam was not pulled into the line at one time (so that it didn't choke the engine). Doing it this way was pretty effective.
