Powerwash that ****, jeeze.
Anyhow, use your brake booster hose. It connects to the bottom of the intake manifold, and the other end connects to the brake booster.
How many miles are on your car?

if it sucks air through the intake it will pull some seafoam
the big round black thingy that your brake fluid resivor is mounted on has a black hose on it that the hose off and put it in the bottle of seafoam when the engine is hot and running

the PCV hose doesn't suck very much at all, he needs to use a hose that's after the throttle body, which the only one is the brake booster.
The brake booster hose is on the right side of the intake manifold near the bottom. You can't miss it.
Follow it back to the brake booster and pull the end of the hose out of the booster. It won't be easy but you can do it. Keep in mind that the car will NOT idle well at all without the brake booster hose attached. Suck the seafoam thru that as per the instructions on the can.
When you're done just pop the booster hose back into the booster.

In the second picture there is a rubber hose coming from the back of the manifold, it runs on top of and along the back of your oil filter, itll have plastic mesh on it in places, follow that line until you find where it connects on the other end, it will be attached to the brake booster, the black bowl looking deal that your brake fluid holder/master cylinder is bolted to. Disconnect it, and use that to slowly poor the seafoam into. OR, you could just get a spray bottle and spray it in through the throttle body, much easier, plus itll clean the throttle body 
I dont recommend putting anything other than OIL(or leak detection dye) into your crankcase. No Seafoam in the oil for me thanks.
You dont HAVE to, you dont NEED to nor is it RECOMMENDED by the manufacturer(or any technician Ive ever worked with, myself included) to replace your plugs after performing a top engine cleaning.
