I heard about seafoam awhile back and i was wondering if anyone has used this before? if so i need some instruction or pic's of how to use the stuff seem like a decent thing to do before an oil change...thanx

 

I heard that you shouldn't do it yourself if you don't seriously know what you're doing....steered me away. LOL

 

I used it, 3 cans(not at once). First can went into the intake to get the crabon deposits out and fuel. Did it work? Beats the hell out of me. Next 2 bottles went into the gas tank to clean up the injectors. Did it work? Not yet, maybe it needs a month or 2. To put it in the intake manifold use the IACV hose, the big black hose coming out of the intake on the right side. Disconnect it from the intake and pour in SLOWLY while the car is running. To turn off the car just plug the hose with your thumb.

 

wouldnt that throw a code? sounds bad anyway

 

You'll get a MAF code because the IACV is disconnected. I don't see a problem though.

 

just that the car thinks the IACV is so plugged, it killed the engine

 

The iacv is used to supply air while the car is idling, if there is no air the car shuts off. No air, no fuel, no problem. Only thing that might be bad with this is that the IACV is sucking in unfiltered air.

 

true the car will still run but it's not healthy for the car to do this. The car will throw a code but you can just reset the Ecu after you are done. I pored 1/4 seafoam through the IACV and the rest in the gas tank. Turned off the car for a few minutes. The car had a hard time restarting but with a little gas it will start. Keep the car on and in a few minutes you will smoke out the neighborhood literally.

 

thats what i thought
