Seafoam
I have been doing some research on this stuff and I have decided to give it a try. I want to do the full treatment but I'm not really sure as to what vacuum line I'm supposed to pour it into. I have seen
That it's best to put a third in your crank case, a third in the vacuum line, and a third in the tank. I have also seen that it's a good idea to change your oil about 500-700 miles later? I have never used this stuff before and thought I would get some feedback before I try and give "Silvia " a nice potent drink to try and cheer her up. Anyone who has used this and has any comments or suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks in advance guys.

It works great! I did the treatment to "Sheila" the other day. I think I have a vid but not sure if it's the results (smoke) or actually doing it. Lemme check

So anyone have any trouble with their o2 sensors after using this, or their cats? My "Silvia" is bone stock 03 gt vert. I don't have the money to throw down on some o2 sensors . It's has 76k on the ody. And another question, so you just let it "suck" in through the vacuum line that goes to the tb?

this shows pretty clearly how to do it, mine ran smoother after, very easy to do, just get a straw and it will suck it right out of the can no problemo

Then there is the one not connected to the intake which also goes into the bottom right side of the plenum. And the last one which comes out of the back. I'm feeling real stupid at this point that I can't tell which one I need to use

used seafoam (used 1/3 can threw vacuum line)...pour slowly and keep engine revs about 2000-2500 (i did threw brake booster vacuum line,and put a small funnel into line and poured slowly...1/3 can in about 4-5 min) turn off engine,let sit for a good 10 min,then drive it for 15-20 min like you "stole it"..be prepared to white smoke out your neighbourhood lol

Ok I see the line your talking about, but on my 2v the hole to the tube is hugongous. The line coming-out of the back of the pelnum seems like it would work great but im not exactly sure where it leads from. Anyone out there know? it's the one on the back hand side if your looking from in front of the stang, actually it's the only one in the back, would this work?
