hey guys, i put seafoam in the vacuum line today and i did everyting they said except i think i put a little less than 1/3PT in and there was really like no smoke that i could see? did i do it right? i also put some in the gas tank.

 

might not have realy needed it then... but it should have smoked alittle bit. i usualy put about half a can down the van line myself. i put it in slow at first and then pour hard and have someone kill the motor.

 

ahh, yeah i ddient stall the motor, once it was all sucked up i turned the motor off by key and let it sit for 5 min than started it back up and took it for a drive. im not too worried about it, the guy he had it befor me did nothing but highway driving, but i ran it thourgh my gas and that should help with the injectors and what not. motor dose seem to idol a little nice and i think pick up is a bit better, hard to tell..lol

 

how much did you put in? it should atleast smoke a little, unless it's been cleaned out befor or has under 50k miles.

You got to put 1/3 of the can in, I used the fuel pressure reg line, once all in shut off for 5 maybe more minutes. Then start up and rev the **** out of it.

yeah, well i dont want to redo it, i dont wanna mess nothin up, ill let it run through the gas and i think that should be good =) thaks for all the advice, ill remeber that next time i seafoam

 

you don't have to worry man it's not going to mess anything up. You will prob need new spark plugs cause after the old ones will be fouled up. You prolly also will have a CEL, but that will go away after resetting it. Just because the smoke getting picked up by the o2 sensor.

 

seafoam is o2 sensor safe, afterall it's petrol based, it won't harm anything if used correctly

 

yeah, i dident get a CEL.

 

prolly cause you had no smoke.
