How-to Seafoam/Remove the intake cover 2.4L

OK no one has really done a seafoam video/decent pics on how to/find the vacuum line on a 2.4L. Only reason I'm doing this is because when I looked for how to seafoam a 2.4L I couldn't find a whole lot. And if your like me and love pics and instructions on doing something.... here ya go I hope this helps.



First


#3 should really come after #5 b/c once you have the whole intake loose its easier to remove. So just slide the clamp down with a pair of pliers.

#5
Unscrew until the clamp (RED) is loose and intake can be removed. Once loose make sure #'s 1-3 are complete. REMOVE THE INTAKE COVER!


The vacuum line that feeds in to the middle of the intake (RED), there is no clamp just a switch sorta thing that you flip and it pull it off. The WHITE arrow points to where it hooks on to.



close up



DO NOT USE A STRAW USE vacuum line
Oh and I just covered my TB with tape so nothing got in it b/c I didn't seafoam it right away(TAKE IT OFF BEFORE STARTING THE CAR)

For the seafoam add 1/3 to the vacuum line, 1/3 to oil, and 1/3(rest) into the gas.

I appreciate this a lot man. One dumb question. Where do you pour in the seafoam, in that little nub that sticks out where you have the straw? Or the Vacuum line that you disconnected from the nub?

Thanks Again!

yeah that nub goes into the intake. In the third pic with the yellow and white straw, just have some seafoam in a cup and then let the engine suck it up but dont use a straw haha the straws are to weak and just collapse under the vaccum
