Hi,

does anybody know at what mileage our started start to fail.

 

Lemme guess you have a problem starting your car?

There is no specific point in mileage at which a starter fails,some fail at 120k/some at 170k/some at 200k..etc etc..yada yada...

what are your symptoms?

 

It was starting fine, then I put in seafoam in the gas tank, in the boaster, and some in the oil, I do not know if it is okay to put in the oil. Then after that let it seat, then after that the car does not start, had to let it seat for awhile before the car could start. When I seafoam my car before it did not have this problem before. Like this morning, when I start the car it start right up, then turn off the car, the car would not start, when I started the car, I can hear the started going but the engine not kicking over.

 

Well,if your starter is turning the engine over,then it's working fine..You may have put too much seafoam in the intake manifold causing it to flood out.

pull your fuel pump fuse/then crank it over for about 15 seconds or so,then put the fuse back in/then try to start it again.

 

Can the seafoam flood a intake manifold

 

When you suck seafoam into your brake booster hose,it goes directly into your intake manifold,then into each cylinder..If you used too much,then yes it can flood the engine,causing it to be difficult to start.

 

we did this on my bro's 2.2l camry and it was a ***** to start. The engine actually stalled while sucking in the seafoam, so he didn't even shut it off himself. It took about 10 cranks to get it to start up again.

 

I read on the bottle, and the instructions was to warm up the car, and while the engine was running let the engine suck the seafoam in.

And another thing is, the VG engine is a mean beast.

 

yeah and then you shut it off and let it sit. except the camry shut itself off... my brother didn't have to do a thing
