Default Interesting Seafoam in the tank quirks!

Hey guys, this morning when I started my civic (1993, LX, D15, 210km) it had a really tough time getting going. There were misfires and such and I had to give the gas pedal a little juice to get it running. Ijust thought,Ishould havechecked the exhaust color....Damn. Anywaydriving along with it in any gear and not giving itmuch gas I could feel the car lurching!As soon as the car was at running temperature (10min later) the car didn't sputter at all, quit lurching,and idled as it usually does at stop lights.

You think this could be from having a half can of seafoam inmy fuel tank? It's been in the tank for the lastweek or so since I don't drive my car much as I walk to work.

Top off your tank and see if it goes away. With that many miles, if you've never ran the seafoam before, theres a chance you could have loosened enough crud in the fuel lines to clog up an injector or two.. just a thought

Seems to be running alright. It hasn't had a bad start since. I love cars...
