Sea Foamed TB, fuel and Crankcase and CEL popped up

It wasnt there before, so obviously I'm thinking it had to do with the intake sensor I took off while the car was running so I could seafoam the intake manifold.

I tried to reset the ECU using the little screw on it, I turned it clockwise for 10 seconds, back for 10 seconds, clockwise for 10 more and then set it back to the start position. I don't know if it worked, the CEL is still there.

Try taking it to Autozone, have them scan it and maybe reset the ECU. That solved the problem for me.

seafoam will cause your spark plug to foul while it is cleaning. it should clear up. but you can take it to autozone if you like.

what code did you come up with? don't tell me you resetted the ecu without pulling the code

anyway, I'm sure its just a random misfire code...I get it everytime I seafoam....and so does my other friend with a 2k2

not ness. most of then time it just causes a miss when you are using it and then once it is burned/used they work just fine.
