Hey guys, new here, and i've got a problem.

I seafoamed my car and my truck yesterday. The truck is running great, the car, not so much. I drove it after using the seafoam and it ran well, and after I started it up a few hours later it was running like crap. I did a full tune up on it today, new plugs, wires, rotor, and cap. Still running like crap. It idles horribly, and shakes like crazy when put under load. After driving i left it running for about a minute in my driveway and smoke started coming up through the hole for the parking brake lever. Did I clog my cat or something? It's not smoking out the tail pipe. BTW, its a 93 civic with a d15b7

 

Did it smoke out of the tailpipe when you originally used the seafoam?

 

oh yeah, big time smoke. I just went out and replaced the fuel filter, and I think I found my problem. The gas I drained out of the filter was just plain nasty looking. I think putting some seafoam in the tank knocked loose some dirty dirty stuff and I've got a tank full of bad gas now. At least hopefully that's the problem...

 

Oh and I am getting flow out of the tail pipe so I guess the cat isn't clogged, but it's very strange that I was getting smoke from the exhaust coming up out of the center console, well after the car stopped smoking from the seafoam.

 

That could be it.

If you have a container you can drain your gas into (needs to be fairly large), there is a drain bolt on the bottom of the gas tank.

 

Any ideas as to why I'm getting that smoke from the console? The engine temp range is normal so I'm not overheating or anything.

 

exhaust leak at the catalytic converter could be it. Check the gaskets there and see if they need replacement
