Go get yourself a 3m or wurth or MOC petrochemical cleaning kit and run it thru the brake booster vacuum line. Seafoam doesnt do crap.

They sell the complete 3M™ Intake System cleaning kit for just under $30. Of course, if this is your first time using the 3M™ products, you might want to buy the 3M™ Intake System Cleaner Adaptor Kit. I honestly do not know if the adaptor kit is necessary, since I haven't used these products before. One site that sell this stuff claims that "3M™ Intake System Cleaner cleans and protects throttle plates, intake manifolds, valves and combustion chambers. A unique formula easily applied by today’s technician utilizing the appropriate 3M™ adaptor kit."

If somebody who has used these products can provide some input on whether or not you actually need the adaptor kit, I'd really appreciate it.
