2.2 Vacuum hose location

1. Find your brake booster (circled in the red) - a big round thing under/connected to your brake fluid reservoir.

2. Disconnect (at the brake booster) big vacuum hose that goes to your intake manifold (circled in blue).

3. Pour in vacuum hose (NOT THE BRAKE BOOSTER).

 

did this today, very very little smoke at 66k

maybe there is something to this regular maintenance lol

 

I got a quick question... i got my car used, and the line is plugged (Boost bypass mod). do i just unplug it and proceed like normal??? Stupid question, but i've never seafoamed a car before.

 

your boost bypass valve line was plugged? ******* retarded previous owner

 

Alright we also need a how to on the SS/TC.

I'm thinking the line coming into the left side of the intake manifold, but I haven't checked it for vacuum.

I always remove it to change the oil filter.

Can someone confirm.

 

Yea tell me about it.. Car runs strong but previous owner was a dumb ass... ugh...

i figured it out, seafoamed, and re connected the bypass line... gotta go for a test drive now.

 

Holy Moly...Well Lets Say I Started Off With A Black Smoke As I Started Then Turned Blueish Then White For Like 2 Miles LoL...I Put It In Gas Tank, Engine Oil , & Vacum Hose... Then Went For A Oil Change...Wat A Fun Day With My Balt....Now Time To Flush The Brake Fluid & Supercharger Oil

 

lol dont mess with the blower. you dont need to change it

 

Sub'd Nice how to

 

I have my boost gauge hooked up to that small nipple on the top of the intake manifold. I would pour it into that line right?

 

Was wondering is the 2.2 same as the 2.4 as far as where everything is located? I wanna do this to my car but I wanna make sure i'm putting it where it needs to be.

 

hey stu how much for your opt B

 

you dont have pm's set up...

 

soooo. what do you do if the car wont start? i think i may have ran a little too much thru the vacuum line

 

Keep cranking at short intervals until it does. It shouldn't be able to flood the engine through a vacuum hose. Did you not keep the rpm's up while you were pouring it in? that's pretty essential.

 

no, i kept the car at idle. i slowly put the seafoam in. i cranked the car so much the battery is dyin lol

the car wants to start up. itll start, sputter for a bit then die. im gonna try lettin it sit for a little

 

Give it some gas, it's going to run like ass for a little while, you have to keep the RPM's up.

 

thats the problem, i give it gas and it wont stay on

 

Plugs prolly got wet. Try changing and trying again

 

^ good point Fonz.

 

yea the plugs got wet earlier and i took them out, cleaned them and sanded them to get the black stuff off. didnt work. but i just got it workin. i unplugged the fuel pump relay, cranked it a few times to burn the seafoam, replaced the relay and started it. it sputtered a little bit but i gave it gas and it stayed on, **** was smokey as **** lol. thank for the helps guys

 

haha, there you go!

Man thinks outside the box.

 

I was bout to say to try that. Had that happen to mine.
And thanks Will. And I got a question to ask u bout swapping something but I will pm u

 

thank ya. when you said it was flooded i thought about it and was like "damn, if seafoam is in it and everytime i crank it it adds more fuel, maybe if i cut out the fuel and let it burn the seafoam it will work"

i wish you woulda said somethin hours ago lol. its coo tho. a lesson learned and somethin i can share with other people who fucked up like i did haha

 

WRONG you can run seafoam in your engine oil when it is bran new i do it every oil change and proof check this out seafoams website
