I'm really sitting here in complete shock that you didn't hydrolock the motor. You just dumped the whole thing into the throttle body? The Seafoam?

Remember kids: use the Seafoam in moderation through the vacuum lines ONLY with the engine running. You can pour this **** into the gas tank too and I think maybe the motor oil (that I'm not sure about). But don't OVERKILL it or you WILL end up with a hydrolocked motor.

Be sure to change the oil immediately after as well.


You can also use water and I think it does a better job IMO. I've done both methods. You'll have wet plugs that creates an audible knocking. Don't worry since it'll finish burning the water off.

What he said ^^^. I've also heard it can foul the plugs so you might need to change them afterwards as well. I think it says on the bottle too, to pour in the gas tank when you are about to fill up at the gas station so it mixes well during fill-up.

well i pured mine thru the intake, i kept my intake on, and just removed the intake air temp sensor(no no the MAF), as it already had a hole so i could just pour it in thru there, i got a small funnel and pour in only 1/3 of a pint(1/3 of the can since the can is a pint), thats what the instructions said to do if pouring in thru the carburator, throttle body or vacuum line, so poured it in, car was about 150 degrees, turned it off, than waited 10 mins, i also got curious and as i waited i opened the TB with my finger, and shined a flash light inside, all the seafoam was vaporized, i could see it like a cloud of smoke, closed the TB, than turned the car on, can idle a bit funny at first, than straightened out, honestly, throttle response feels better, but than again i also cleaned the TB before i poured in the seafoam, so idk which on did it, or if they both did, i saw no smoke come from my car, but mine only has 29000 miles so it might not be as dirty as others

I ended up using it in my wifes equinox . Sucked into the motor using the brake booster vacuum line . It sucked up about half the bottle and i shut it off , let it sit for 10 mins then fired it back up . Holy **** did it smoke , it smoked so bad that i couldn't see anything around me lol. The car had a slight hesitation and rough idle before , after it was gone . It worked great .

I added it to the fuel in my SS/SC , havent really noticed a difference in the idle .

Did u do the SS? If so where did you run it threw? I might do mine if i find a decent way. I was thinking the vacumm line that plugs in below the fuel rail , but i want to be 100% sure . thanks
