How Many VQ35's have done SeaFoam and Got CEL?
 

Just like the title says. Please Respond in the poll. Also if there are any other conditions or symtoms you experienced those would be helpful as well.
Thanks

you should have been more specific .. there is more then one way to "do seafoam" ,.. as well as different kinds of seafoam...my answer is based on the brakebooster way... and reg seafoam not deep creep

no problem here (sorry dont have the 3.5 but..).. did it.. good results...only thing that scared the SH!T outta me was smoke started comming out from behind the second cylinder area(rear passenger side) and i was like ahhhh but im assuming that means i just have a slight exhaust leak,.. cuz im pretty sure it was just the seafoam smoke comming out and not the engine going kaboom

no problems, maybe if you over do it there could be a problem but I've done it twice no problems

tried it. nothing happend / did not see any difference. just a smoke show.

used seafoam 3 times and nothing.....

I've used Sea-foam twice and noticed nothing. Thankfully nothing bad, but unfortunately nothing good either. The car did blow out some smoke, but I noticed no gain in power.

so one person voted yes...but didnt post to explain anything.

no problem here.

I've done it 2 times on my 03 and haven't had any problems.

I got a blinking SES...and a store p0300 code...

no problem, just cleared the ECU...drives like a dream ever since then

when you perform seafoam you are createing a vac leak to being with, then you are putting fluid into something that is normally just air causing a possible misfire.

so right off the bat the 2 faults are expected, now pending on how well your car is running will be if those 2 faults show up. I would expect rich or lean condition and random misfires. but all should/will be cleared out and not to return again.

At the risk of sounding retarded here.....

what the hell is seafoam? Oh yea and ... what the hell is CEL....
I thought we were talkin about jetskis for a second there...

CEL - check engine light

Thank you.... you are a gentleman and a scholar

no heres the problem, u put that in from the brake booster line, but that wouldnt get up close to say where the throttle body is. i looked inside the throttle body today and that **** was nasty in there. could i spray some deep creep in there? or is there other ways to clean rite where the throttle body is.

seafoam is intended to clean the INTAKE MANIFOLD...not the throttle body. you use throttle body cleaner and a rag for that.

ya but if im just spraying come throttle body cleaner in there is that safe to do that? obviously i cant put the rag on the other side

there are plenty of thread that discuss cleaning the throttle body on an 02/03

hey wheres a good link that you would use one your own car :fro:

"Oh look, I can talk to the n00b any way I want, because I've been here so long, and my name says 'Cool' in it!"




:thumbsup:

:goofy:
Maybe one day you too can have a n00b blow up and give you a priceless quote, such as:

is seafoam really worth it? do you notice smoother running or easier starting etc or is it all just hype?

I think most people notice smoother operation, but it won't hurt if you do it right. Some people will notice a difference, some won't (I didn't).
There's probably plenty of testimonials here: http://forums.maxima.org/forumdispla...aysprune=&f=70

i posted the link to a thread that answers any questions someone could have regarding seafoam

hhaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!!!!!1

Seafoam does not do anything to remove carbon. It smokes because it has kerosene in it, that's also what smooths out your idle. No more of this sh!t please.
