So i ran seafoam through my car last night, in this ratio
1/3 in the gas tank
1/3 in the Crank case
1/3 through the brake booster line,
did the first 2 while the car was shut off, brake booster i had a buddy work the throttle so the car didnt die, and let the engine slowly suck up the seafoam, let it run for a couple seconds, then shut it off for like 5 minutes, started it up and gave 'er a good high RPM full throttle run for about 3-4 minutes, and then drove around for another 15. but i didnt get as much smoke as i was hoping, does that mean my engine was pretty clean? ive ran injector cleaner through it a couple times(like once every 2 months) i saw a video of somebody doing seafoam and there was a BUNCH of smoke, but with mine....eh not so much, and with the brake booster line, it looked like it was going to only the drivers side port, does it spread to the rest of the upper intake too? or was i only cleaning the drivers side by doing the booster line.

 

how many miles u got, mine smoked alot but i have alot of miles

 

61000

 

yea i have 94k and my didnt smoke as much as i thot

 

mine didnt smoke that much, it did a little bit but nothing like in the vids you see of it.

 

alright, cool i feel better then, i can definately feel that it runs a bunch smoother than it did before. It was worth the 6 bucks i paid for the can

 

Ok don't make fun of me, but how do you use this stuff? Where do you put it exactly? My car has 132k on it and it does idle a little rough. I use fuel injector cleaner pretty much every time I change the oil, but this sounds like it would do a better job. Thanks.

 

i had a big problem trying to understand how to use it.... im halfway retarded so that had something to do with it ill break it down 5th grader style like i needed it explained to me

with the car off
pour 1/3 of the can into the gas tank close to empty and go fill up
pour 1/3 of the can into the oil (the oil cap in the drivers side valve cover)
start your engine, and you need a buddy for this one
put the last 1/3 of the can into a red party cup, and if you are standing at your front bumper look in the back of the engine bay on the drivers side, you will see a round black thing with a hose coming out of it, and if you follow that hose it leads to the upper intake, have your friend work the throttle body while you unplug the hose from the round black thing (brake booster) and when you first pull it off the engine is going to want to die, so forewarn your buddy, and then you are going to stick the hose into the party cup with seafoam in it, and slowly suck it up, having your buddy workin the throttle as to not let the car die, and after you have sucked it all out of the cup, reconnect the hose to the brake booster and let the car sit for about a minute, shut it off for 5 minutes, then restart it and take it for a full throttle high RPM drive, to really clean everything out that is in the upper intake and all that. after 100 or so miles change the oil and get some fresh gas into it, and you should be good to go

 

i got a lot of smoke when i did mine. i sucked in through the pcv valve which may have cleaned all the oil and stuff out of that line which is why it may have smoked a ton. anyways it was definitely worth the $5. it runs smoother and has a bit better throttle response. oh and i have 82xxx miles.

 

Awesome. Thx. 5th grader style works great for me too. I will try this later today and let you know what happens
