i love seafoam, Car runs sooooo much smoother. Options

[Valo666]

So back in the summer when we bought sarah's car we seafoamed it out at my buddies place...made her car run sooo much better *has almost 200xxxMiles on it*, and at that time i bought a can of it for my car. I never got around to using it untill a day ago. I had some ticking coming from my head *think it was some carbon built up on on the valve seat beacuse i was burning some oil too. Any ways, i used it yesterday, 5 min after using it, no more tick, idel is much more constant, runs smooth as silk now. My idel use to jump around the 700-800 mark..now it sits perfectly at 750.

I seriously recomend using it. We are selling some other stuff at my work that does the same thing with an oil treatment for $66, go out and spend the $8 on a can and buy some seafoam.

i use it every other time i do an oil change and it works great....i had a vid. of it but i think it got deleted....i had 135,xxx+ and my car blew barley any smoke....thats what happens when y9ou change your oil every 3 thousand miles ....but yea it made it run a lot smoother and i highly recomend it as well

[SeverX13]

umm haha what exactly is seafoam?

[Valo666]

its a fuel cleaner/oil conditioner, and carbon cleaner. Pretty much, u suck it out of a can through a vacuum line and it cleans the carbon out of your combustion chamber, if you throw it in b4 an oil change, it cleans the varnish off your internals and gets rid of sludge and if you put it in your fuel it cleans your injectors.

[Blurr05]

I've heard if your car has a lot of miles on it and you have never used seafoam it can do bad things to your car. Anyone heard this before?

[Valo666]

if you put it in your oil...yea...but sucking through the vacuum shouldnt be a problem.

[pabel89]

i have never tried this, im scared something going to go wrong wiht my car.

[BURNSJ2]

so for those of us over 200xxx who have never done it before, how should we do it? just through a vac line only?

[99Celica]

I heard from a respectable mechanic to be cautious with it on very high mileage cars that have been abused and have never used it before.

What vaccuum line are you guys talking about? My friend uses this stuff and he sucks it in through the throttle body. Does it matter which way?

[94TRDcelica]

Can someone post up a how to, or a link to the use of this stuff? I too am a bit concerned of pouring the stuff in the wrong places!

Any problems with Turbo cars? I could use to clean the injectors for sure - varnish I don't need cause the engine only has 1K on it
Any suggestions for my situation would be greatly appreciated

I agree i kind of want to use this stuff on my 176XXX mile ST, but where exactly to put it......

[tonytutino]

pull the vac line that runs off of your intake manifold to your valve cover so that its no longer connected to the cover. (thats the one i used for my ST.) then have someone sit inside your car and rev it up to suck in that godly juice

granted, you could just pull the throttle cable in the engine bay but it's easier with two people!

[stephen_lee]

i did it on my 209XXX ST and it didn't have any negative effects

[6strngs]

what I did was pulled the small idle adjustment hose thing that runs from that valve on the bottom of the throttle body to one of the nipples on the top of the throttle body. disconnecting that hose makes your engine idle around 2000 RPM, so no need to rev the engine. then allow it to slowly suck the seafoam in. don't submerge the hose in the stuff or the engine will die. do it nice and slow and then right when you're getting to the end, submerge it so the engine dies. let it sit for like 15 minutes and start it up. it's gonna take some cranking to get it started, but then when you do you'll have a munch of white smoke coming out the tailpipe and a cleaner engine I'd strongly recommend that you DON'T put it in your oil! if you do, it's supposed to be right before an oil change, you only have it in your oil for a couple minutes then you drain and refill your oil with new oil. as for the gasoline, you can do that, but I'd sooner use chevron's techron (my auto teacher who is extremely knowledgable strongly recommends it). not just chevron gas but the little bottles you can buy at an auto parts store. he says chevron "with techron" gas isn't worth it because they don't put near enough in it to actually clean anything.

They don't sell it over here

Funny thing for me is that I had so much smoke in the beginning for like 2 minutes and then it totally died and no smoke for the rest of the 13 mins approx lol.

I'm sure there are other brands available over there. If not someone here would send you some I'm sure. Find me a folding mirror relay and I'll send you a case

there might be some law against sending harsh chemicals over seas.
