Seafoam into TB worked great!!!
#1
Just an FYI
I have seen many people say that sea foaming through the break booster is the best way to do it.
I went that route last week, while cleaning I
My IACV today, I noticed there was so much gunk in the upper manifolds still. So I put the IACV back one, then got a can of deep creep. I then sprayed most of a can into the TB while reving this engine. I did through a code because I was running withought my maf sensor. But after resetting the code it did not come back. I noticed a huge differance in acceleration. I just want to make sure people know that this is an option, and that seafoaming through the brake booster will not clean your manifolds as well as one would think. Just make sure you have the capability of clearing codes. I will remove the IACV tomorrow and see the difference in how it looks. But the way it drives is noticeably better then when all I did was feed it through the brake booster.

Seafoaming thru the break booster hose cleans the carbon build-up in the chambers. It won't clean much carbon in air intake system.
To give your air intake system a thorough cleaning then follow this how to

thanks

I think your all missing the point... He removed the intake assembly and Disconnected the MAF, than proceeded to spray Deep Creep straight down into the TB before and during engine operation. I've seen it done, even on my vehicle once before I was competent. He's right, it does work well.

I removed hose to IACV from airbox and added 2oz until car died, let it sit 10 minutes, started and let it run until smoke stopped, repeated. Then I added 12oz to full tank of gas. Next day made several WOT redline runs and it suddenly litterly "woke up". 100% improvement in throttle response and big improvement to acceleration. I was blown away by improvement and now a huge Seafoam fan. I had used it before in boats for winterizing, but never realized what it could do for car engines, I know now,
FYI, the one thing I was advised was be careful not to add to much at once directly to engine as it could cause hydrolock aka bent rod!
Thanks forum for recommending this product.
