Use the vacuum line off the brake booster, generally the easiest. Have someone help you and have them raise the throttle to about 2000rpm becuase pulling that line might kill it and you dont want to kill the engine with that **** running through it. You can use the entire can but its going to smoke for quite some time just drive down the freeway for about 10 minutes or something.

NEGATIVE! DONT DO THAT!
Fooie on the Vacuum Port method
You can cause serious damage. []

There is no point in sucking sea-foam into a vacuum port on the intake
on a multi-port fuel injected engine. None. It could lean or richen the
fuel mixture and cause all sorts of problems. Now using a professional
fuel injector cleaner where you insert the cleaner thru one of the fuel
rail, pressure test, schrader valves is a whole different story.

How will this cause damage? This is the first I have heard of it. I know people do it all the time and have seen it, but never heard of causing a problem like this.

LOL or drive around in circles in a parking lot and people will think you are drifting.

i would think if you changed oil every 3-4kthousand mile and are having no problems nothing will be gained .
and using it and not following the specific details im sure could cause some damage.

I always figured Seafoam was for 15 year old cars with 200k plus miles on them. I can't imagine that you would gain anything from doing it.
