A Little Seaform works

This weekend I tried using Seaform - Deep Creep. I sprayed some into the spark plug holes...and into the brake booster. >Poof>>> A cloud of smoke came out of the back end. Much to my amazment, as all males are amused by things like that, it remained cloudly for at least 10 minutes. Rev'ed the engine to 3000 rpms and waited for just a minute. More smoke. Then, I did a second treatment into the brake booster to the injectors...more smoke. I would natrually assume that the smoke is carbon being burned off.
I cleared my codes and received a new one, O2 sensor, frontside. I guess I will need to clean it.
I also received the KS code and the EGR valve code. I am going to replace them since now I am getting cruddy gas mileage. Even after cleaning the injectors and piston areas. I have gapped my spark plugs to 1.1/ .043 for the Bosch plat. spark plugs. Should I go to .044?

You might wanna go with NGK copper or platinum plugs gapped to .044"

Don't replace the KS until you fix the other stuff first since it might be fine. EGR and SeaFoam thing: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=350400
