1 I'm not a troll, 2 I didn't ask stupid questions and 3 I have the codec. It's funny that all you little kids only remember my bad posts. Man, I'm tired.

When you're pouring it in, pour it in slow enough that the engine doesn't stall, but fast enough that the engine sputters or shakes a little... that's what I've done.
is that for 99 max too?

I saved the video to my desktop but when I play it back, I don't see any video, just a black screen. I need a special codec to view it?

Edit: Download and install the Divx codec from www.divx.com

After doing the SeaFoam thing in my car, it smoked for several minutes in my driveway. I then went for a drive and it smoked for at least 5 more minutes. It was embarrassing.

Any reason why you can't use the the hose that goes to the IACV? Take if off from valve and dip it into the seafoam. This way it goes through the butterfly and cleans everything in the intake tract. You won't get it on the Maf, because this hose i further down (on the 4th gen anyway

Don't dip the IACV hose into the SEAFOAM, that's stupid, the hose is too big. What you can do is get a cup or something and "mist" the seafoam into the IACV hose. Try it and you'll know what I mean. Just put the hose close enough to the seafoam that you'll see it sucking it in as mist.

So far. I have been successful with the use of Seafoam. I used Deep Creep in the crankcase and wow what an improvement. I also used Deep Creep in the brake booster and that did wonders too. However, my EGR Valve is giving me troubles so my gas is sheety...Changed the oil out and its running a bit smoother. I should know more about then next 300-500 miles how the car is really going to run.
