Default Seafoam, Where?

Where did you all purge the sustem to let the seafoam work its way into the intake and rest of the engine equally... And HOW THE HELL do you get to the pcv valve to change it without taking off the upper intake...

with the car running pull the brake booster line off and poor in about half of it through there turn the car off and let it sit for a good 15 min while your waiting poor the rest into your gas tank start the car might take a while took my a while to finally get it to start and then sit back and watch the smoke show

The brake booster line is located on the vacuum tree on the driver's side of the vehicle near the firewall. You'll see several hoses attached to it. The brake booster line is usually lables "B/B" on the tree.

As far as how to remvoe the PCV... I have to come in from the p[assenger side to get to it. And I have to make sure the engine is cold because it's a tight squeeze and gets hot back there/ Keep in mind that it's only held in by friction (in the grommet) so all you have to do is pull on it and it comes out. When it's time to put one back in, just push firmly.

make sure you give it a nice hard run after you let it sit to get all of the smoke out

Your supposed to let it idle while the smoke it comming out. Of coarse I give it a few nice revs for amusment but I dont think your supposed to drive it. Also, make sure you have a good exhaust system on your car if your doing this... no shot mufflers & clogged cats.
