RE: seafoam
Start up your car and drive around for a bit until its warmed up. Then get out with the car running andand pop the hood. This is easiest to do with a friend. Have one of you put 1/3 of the can into a cup and suck it up through the vacuum line on the brake booster. The brake booster is located on the driver side of the engine bay at the back. The vacuum line is about a 1 inch diameter tube hooked onto it. When you take it off your car should sound different and you should be able to feel the tbe sucking. Slowly suck up the seafoam through the tube. Your car might stall if you dont have a friend pressing on the gas. Once its all sucked up your should have white smoke coming out of the exhaust. This is the carbon. I'd let her run for a bit and give the throttle a few good pushes. Then dump 1/3 in the gas tankl and 1/3 in the crankcase.

RE: seafoam
The above instructions are pretty much right on the money. Only thing i disagree with; instead of revving th engine after putting it in the brake booster vacuum line just immediately shut teh engine of instead. Let it sit for 15 minutes before starting it back up. THEN rev the engine, take it for a spin, hit WOT, and let the smoke burn off, etc.

RE: seafoam
I ran about a half a can through the other day... let it sit for 20 minutes and then good lord. I am surprised that the fire department was not called. I have never seen so much smoke come out of a car. I rana THICK cloud of smoke about 6 blocks down the street. I was feeling real good about driving the car around. I am sure people were thinking it was on fire and that I was a hillbilly idiot.
