Ok guys this is an extremely simple thing to do.

*Im not responsibly for you messing something up*

First purchase-

I bought the small can (1 pint) and that is all you will need for your Cobalt.

First, pour 1/3 of the can into you gas tank (I would recommend at least having 1/2 a tank of gas) with the car off.

Next, remove your oil cap on top of the motor, again pour in 1/3 with the car off. YOU WILL HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR OIL IF YOU PUT IT IN HERE.

Finally, you are going to remove a vacuum hose under the hood, here are some pics of it-

This is where you will remove it-


here is how it runs-




Now start up the car, and it will sound off and might sputter a bit. This is OK. Next hold the hose up and you should feel some suction, begin to SLOWLY pour the remaining 1/3 into it. I mean, drizzle it in there, take your time. If the car is not cooperating you may need someone to hold the revs up a bit, mine kept running though.

After you have emptied the bottle, shut off the car. Plug the vacuum line back in, and wait for five minutes. After five minutes, start the car up. Againk, it may not want to smoothly, so use the throttle to keep it running. Keep it running or drive around until the smoke no longer some from the car, this could take upwards of 20 minutes.

Then get someone to video tape this-

Wrong, well not completely but unless you intend to do an oil change that same day do NOT pour seafoam into the oil. Gas tank and the vacuum lines are fine but you don't want it trapped in the oil tank for more than a day. So it's

1) 2/3s into gas tank + 1/3 in the vacuum line

or

2) 1/3 into gas tank + 1/3 into vacuum line + 1/3 into the oil (drive a couple of miles) and then do an oil change.

 

im sorry...what does this accomplish? i have never even heard of seafoam

 

awesome

 

edited, i knew i had to change the oil, but after you submit a how-to thread you cant edit it until they approve it

 

cleans the ol girl out from all the crud built up in the engine.

bellows smoke like a brushfire

good misquito repellant

 

supposed to clean out many parts of your motor from build up over time

 

what vacuum hose is that

 

what do you mean?

 

Ive always wanted to try this stuff. Do you recommend it over something like the Chevron fuel system cleaner. (which is what i use now about once or twice a year).

 

Missed the most important step....

Get a friend to record the Lulz that follow.

 

haha, true dat. i edited it with my after video at the end

i honestly have no clue bro

 

fuel systme cleaner doesn not clean the engine, it will clean everywhere the fuel passes thru, the seafoam is thr ****, cleans it all...all that smoke is the **** that has built up inside, i did mine on my 2.2 a while back, but dont think i did it right, didnt get no smoke, and ihave 30,000 miles, so idk, i might have to look into it, i pour'd i in thru the intake, only good sourve of vacuum i could find, i will try again thru the nipple under the manifold

 

Went ahead and tried it today. Your guide was most helpful.

The hose was hard to pull out but i figured it would be. I loosened the bolt that holds the bracket for it, giving me another angle. Then pulled it out with help of a flathead.

I think the car sounds a little bit quieter now. Either way I saw lots of smoke for a long time.

 

dont forget to change your oil

 

what exhaust do you have hatrick

 

that was weak, we use BG brand fuel system cleaner, slowly idle on to the hwy infront of work and floor it in 1st to around 5k and leave the engine at that rpm for 30sec. smoke out the HWY. We even had the fire dept come cuz they thought a car was on fire!!!!

 

and people say we are redneck in ar!

GMPP manifold, custom 2.5 catback with a dynomax ultraflo muffler, i had the ricepipe on in the vid (catless 2.5), but have the stocker on for DD

 

ha I got bored yesterday and did the jeep and the balt.
1st off the balt. made it misfire like crazy, didn't smoke as much as I expected, runs a bit better and smoother now.
next the 89 jeep... well umm, yeah I think I killed every small living creature within 5 blocks of my house. **** smoked horrendously lol. Not as bad as my lincoln did, but damn, my neighbors really really hate me now. thankfully I move in 3 weeks lol. And to think they don't like me now, wait til I throw the empty house party lol

 

I should prolly do this to mine..i bought it used with 26K on the clock, and the dealership filled it up with 87 instead of 93, and I have no idea how the previous owner treated it, nor what gas/oil he put in it.

 

i work at a dealership!!!!!!!!

 

this is the same thing as the fuel induction service offer at most car shops one in the oil its a conditioner, one in the tank and one ran through a vacuum source we usually use the booster line, but we have a setup that feeds the vacuum source like a regulator cuz you can hydrolock the motor if not careful. also while performing it use a throttle depressor and keep the motor at like 2000 to 3000rpms

 

the MOPAR fuel cleaner kit has one for the tank, one for the fuel rail and a spary can for the throttle body, works okay, the BG equivilant is 10x better!!

glad this thread is finally proving some use haha.

paul that ***** funny, you should have videos though

 

We sea foamed my best friends '94 mercury marquis a couple weeks ago. It upped the mileage by like 2 mpg afterward and it picked up some acceleration didn't smoke as much as I had hoped though. Put it in the oil too. We did a brake job and oil change that day.
