Thank you. Finally someone showed exactly where to place the hose on a fuel injected engine. I have been looking all over
I bought a 26 year old Toyota Corolla for $100. It had been sitting for 8 years. I replaced the rusty gas tank, fuel pump and fuel lines with cheap, junkyard stuff. I got the engine started easily, but it was running very badly. By pulling spark plug wires, I determined it was running apparently on only two cylinders. I thought it had stuck valves or bad fuel injectors.
I tried a $9 can of liquid SeaFoam, the old fashioned way, that is by warming up the engine, then slowly pouring the liquid in the brake booster hose. I did about 2/3 of the can, and then poured in enough to make the engine stall. I let it sit 7 minutes, and then re-started the engine. At that point I witnessed the most dramatic automotive resurrection I've ever seen. After running five or so seconds, the idle smoothed out, the dead miss went away. The car runs absolutely fantastic now. Very responsive, lots of power. Awesome! Customer for life. My neighbor witnessed this miracle also. Please send my T-shirt to....
Thank you for the story. Please send an email to media@seafoamsales.com and note that you're wilkesjournal that posted on TH-cam.
Note: You likely have dirty compression rings that could use more cleaning.
If you can leave the car to sit for 1 to 3 days, try this: Pull the spark plugs and pour an ounce of Sea Foam (or easier, Sea Foam Spray) into each cylinder cavity. With the plugs removed, crank the engine for 1 or 2 seconds. Leave the plugs out overnight (or better, for two or three days). If can leave for 2 or 3 days, crank engine once per day after adding a little more Sea Foam. Sea Foam will work to dissolve hydrocarbon residues from the compression rings, helping to recover compression and power. After soak, seat plugs and go.
My honda civic 98. Have the same problem i think . Ima do that this weekend hopedully works .
Hi Andy: You can find step-by-step instructions on our website's HOW 2 page. Also feel free to use the 'Ask Jim' feature.
Sea Foam Official we were told we need a timing chain replacement and I think it's just the lister's what do you think
wilkesjournal p
I used the same method for my 2010 Nissan Rogue. The car had 75,000 miles on it and ran not bad. However, after 10 - 15 minutes of driving and then coming to a stop the car would always shake and shudder. I applied a can of the upper engine cleaner directly to the throttle body, I only used about half the can. After that, it was better than new. I could not believe it. Customer for life!! I would love a tshirt or hoodie to represent my seafoam loyalty!!!
Nice! Shirts for sale on website.
That was exactly what I needed to see on how to use this stuff appropriately. Thank You!
Glad to help!
@@SeaFoamOfficial
a whole can of sea foam is enough for 8-9 gallons of fuel?
@@dfls5069 Yes, that will work!
ran it with my old Ford 3.0 wish I had my old phone. The before and after on my valve covers alone will keep me coming back. I love your product.
Thank you, David. We appreciate!
Appreciate hearing you can never add too much fuel treatment!! Whole bottle, 5 gallons.. I think I might
Yeah. I liked that too. Plus it's basically optional to add to gas. I am. I'm doing same as him.
I dont even use gasoline anymore. Sure its expensive to fill up on seafoam but I think its worth it.
That aint nothin. We had a car run out if gas and just to give it enough to move it around the house I put a can in it. Then another guy put another can. Then another can. If there was a drop of gasoline left in it, it was eaten by seafoam🤣
I would like to give a huge shout out to everyone at Sea Foam. Your product is amazing! It made a huge difference in my engine. It is nice to spend money on a product that actually works. Thank you.
Thanks, Tanman. Love to hear + glad to help!
I have a 2008 Dodge Nitro 3.7L 334,678 miles on it. I've been using Seafoam in the fuel tank every 3rd tank, added to the oil 200 miles before I change the oil,I use Mobil One full synthetic and change it every 5,000 miles, and I've used the Seafoam fogger 2 times and the engine runs like it has 30,000 miles on it. I swear by Seafoam!
Great to hear - Thanks for posting!
Yea, all that cash on seafoam didn't help one thing! All this sea foam crap is B.S.!
Is it safe to add it to the engine oil? How much do you add?
Yeah like the one guy said, do you mix it in with the oil or wat?
@@RCsFinest yes you can add it to the oil (atleast the can that doesn't spay). I'm pretty sure it's 1 oz of seafoam for every quart of oil your motor holds.
Thank you, Brian, for a straight forward and easy to follow video.
Glad to help!
Used it on my 5 hp briggs put it in the gas tank and choke intake . works magic I tell ya
Ive been using sea foam both in my fuel tanks and through the vacuum lines for over a decade and I’ve always had great running cars. I just used this spray in my challenger today 😎
What do you think of the spray?
Sea Foam Official very easy to use 👍
I just used this on a 2001 VW Jetta, it worked great and it improved the idle and acceleration. No joke, this is simple and easy. I didn't really expect that much of a boost in performance, I will certainly use this product again.
Hi Mark: Great post and appreciate the mention that it's simple to do!
I just used this on my 50cc Honda scooter in the gas tank and carb and it worked amazing!
Glad to hear - thanks for posting!
th-cam.com/video/CVkTyew_bC0/w-d-xo.html
is your 50cc Scooter running on all 8 cylinders now?
exactly what I'm planning to do, much better than taking off the carburetor and cleaning jets I hope
Seafoam and this Seafoam Spray process just saved me a day changing out plenum gaskets on my Jeep .. and possibly a lot more! Jeep ran fine yesterday, started today and didn't sound quite right. I was half way between home and local auto parts store for another project when the check engine line popped up and beeped in intervals... which is different than when it vapor locks. Coded - [cylinder 3 misfire, intake manifold, plenum gasket, injectors] ... and I was a bit stressed. I knew I had Seafoam spray and a couple more cans for the fuel tank at home, so Iought 1 can of seafoam and plenum gasket set .. dumped the seafoam in and hobbled back, preparing myself to spend the rest of the day cussing the intake manifold. I dumped a second can of seafoam into my tank and got my husband to help with the spray process in this video. Jeep spit and sputterd and popped and made noises I never want to hear again but we got the can emptied.... let it sit for about 15 minutes and held my breath while I started it up. I still can't believe it, but it sounded perfectly normal [holy $hit!]. I checked codes with my trail dash 2... zero codes! Drove it around for about 15 minutes at varied speeds and had zero issues.... and still zero codes!
I am never getting cheap gas again and will seafoam every tank. I am so friggin appreciative of @SeaFoamOfficial ! Thank you!!!
BRO....this was so helpful. You explained it very well and now I can apply it to my truck.
been using seafoam in my vehichles and small engines (which are used commercially) for over a decade and will continue to do so as ive come to have complete trust in the product . and i spend alot of time on internet foruming with others that use small engines and trucks commercially and have found theres a huge group of sea foam loyalist . great job sea foam , and good vid here for a quick / simple way to clean up intake !
We appreciate your comments, Roman Soldier. Thanks for sharing and thanks for being a SF customer!
I poured 2 big cans of Sea Foam dorectly into my empty gas tank before filling up with fuel. My car smoked for about a week while the Sea Foam did its magic. Thank you Sea Foam! I would really appreciate a T-Shirt or something if you can find it in your heart to do so. Peace
🤣
After I get off work tomorrow I'll give this a shot....let's see how well it truly works...
I have used Sea Foam products for many years in vehicles being driven over a 100k a year. An excellent product!
Thank you so much for this video! I will be cleaning my engine this weekend using this technique.
Thanks, Eric. Please feel free to let us know what happens.
Used it following your instructions and had no issues! Thank you very much.
Hi Eric: Thanks again - glad you got the hang of it!
Just did this and took the car out.. wow.. engine is noticeably smoother.. even my 11 year old noticed.. 08 mustang, 86k miles, florida
I added half a seafoam bottle to my 02 Honda Accord via the brake booster hose while someone revved engine to 2k rpms. The rest was poured inside the gas tank. Let it sit for 15-20 min and took it for an aggressive drive, and wow, I felt the car accelerate faster, it certainly did something good, car feels stronger and snappy too. Great product !
Bullshit
I love this stuff, I have been using it for years on all my engines. Years ago I had a Suburban that was burning oil big time, I put SeaFoam in the gas tank and in the break booster system as the used to recommend and after a huge puff of smoke the engine never burned oil again for many miles after this.
Thanks Bryan this video was VERY HELPFUL 👍🏽👍🏽
Something missed here. Once you've done the treatement, give it the Itallian Tune Up, that is drive it hard for at least 20 minutes to get the carbon out of the system.
Follow instructions for perfect results! A+
Great video. I used to do something similar with my '69 VW bug...I'd slowly pour diesel into the intake while opening the throttle to keep it going.
@@gg-eo6ez Worked like a charm for me. It only works in carburated engines.
Thanks for this video. It worked on my 2009 CTS, some of the spray ended up in the driveway. Since my intake points downward. Thanks again
Good stuff man!
Yes it is
I followed these steps exactly and wow it really worked. Before I had so much carbon build up, just taking a 5 minute drive was enough to leave me sick for the day but just one bottle of sea foam and my car is even driving better and clean
Glad to hear - thanks for posting!
I had a serious issue with acceleration and gas mileage and mechanics couldnt figure it out. my girl recommend this product so I poured a can in my gas tank. and wow my car is like brand new again. I'm saving a lot of money on gas. My g37 acceleration is too smooth and powerful. Thank you! amazing prodyct. customer for life
Thanks, Anto. Great story. Sea Foam works fast to dissolve fuel gums/residues from fuel passageways. Could have been that simple.
Bryan i think its all good now! I disconnected the neg batt term and while i was in there i said to myself well let me go ahead and clean the MAF sensor i noticed the plastic connector was wet wondering if it was from my DIY Fuel induction service. So i dried it up cleaned the MAF sensor with CRC MAF sensor cleaner and then i said while im in here might as well clean my thottle body with some CRC throttle body cleaner. Put it all back together. Turned the key let it sit for a couple min cranked it up and drove down the street and back and NO ENGINE LIGHT ON!!! YAY!!! THNX FOR YOUR HELP AND INPUT!
Update...I used and ther misfiring decreased and check engine light went off! I think short can should clean it some more!
Thanks Seafoam....
This won't do anything to injectors. However what does work, if you have a set of spare injectors, is soaking the injectors in Sea Foam for a few weeks (remove all injector rubber rings before soaking). That will help clean the injectors inside.
It will clean your injectors if you put it in the tank.
Had problems with my 1992 gmc Sierra 2500 but all of that changed completely after putting seafoam, 100% effective
Great video, will be trying this on my truck, thanks.
Thank you for the video! I did the application through my throttle body, with my wife keeping our GMC Yukon at 2k RPM throughout the spraying. Afterwards, I let it hot soak for 15 minutes with the engine off. Everything was smooth, but I didn't get any "clouds of smoke" like I've seen/heard others get. Did I do something wrong, or did it not work? Or was my system just likely pretty clean?
Doesn't seem you did anything wrong. Sometimes you see the oil vapor (white smoke), sometime you don't. Either way is not significant.
@@SeaFoamOfficial hi! does hot soak mean to just shut the engine for 10 min. before the driving around final step? Im a little confuse with the hot soak step
Thanks!
@@julioserna5659 Yes, that's correct. A hot soak means that you're shutting off the engine when it's still hot and the treatment is working it the combustion chamber, soaking into upper engine residue/deposits.
@@SeaFoamOfficial thanks for the reply!!
is this safe to spray the whole can continuously or do i spray it in bursts
Does Sea foam have commercial solution for doing the same procedure??
Something I would like to point out, be careful when cleaning your throttle body. there are some designs thet specificly say on the throttle body not to scrub or wipe as this can destroy the glazed finish on the inside of the throttle body.
There is a canister tool for attaching to fuel rail, plus has a throttle body attachment ('S' tool) for upper intake cleaning.
Sea Foam Official new
Welcome aboard, Darrin!
Thanks for showing me how to use the stuff
Great vid, followed instructions and saw immediate results.
Terrific - Thanks for sharing your results!
Can't you short your electrical system opening the throttle body while the car is running?
The throttle body is closed/sealed by the boot during the application. Other is most modern cars won't start without the boot attached.
Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't really answer my question: so will my vehicle's electrical system be shorted if I move the throttle plate when the battery is connected?
Why would you remove the throttle plate? If you meant intake boot, no worries.
I never said I wanted to remove the throttle plate? I said 'move' it, like to get the seafoam spray straw past it, so I can use it to clean my engine. I've heard from numerous professional mechanics that if you move the throttle plate with the negative terminal connected, it could short my entire electrical system.
At 2:41 he says to put the nozzle about 1/4" in front of the throttle plate - not past it. You can also find this in the written instructions on the Seafoam website.
Yes, the flies were right out of the Amityville Horror, lol. My brother from another mother is an ASE mechanic, one of the best i know, and he turned me on to Sea Foam. Now that I’m having throttle body issues, THIS chick is running out and getting a can of your throttle body cleaner .... like now...
great video.. LOVE SEAFOAM. use it all the time. i believe its the only true injector cleaner out there
Thank you, Steve.
VERY GOOD VIDEO ON APPLICATION OF SEAFOAM THROUGH THROTTLE BODY.
Hi I tried the sea foam spray and now I got the check engine light code p2101Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit Range/Performance
Please Help
If the code light does not go back to normal after 30 drive miles, try disconnecting the crank battery for 15 minutes to re-set.
Relearn the throttle body position.
It will also set your o2 sensors off.all the smoke tells the computer no oxygen flow in exhaust. May have to reset with scanner or disconnect battery.
I ran Seafoam through a lawnmower that had been sitting outside(covered) for 5-6 years and after a lot of smoke it still runs to this day.
The initial problem was that would never run longer than 5 mins. I had only had it about a year and it was in the shop 3 times with the same results. I figured it couldn't hurt to see if the Seafoam treatment would work.
Many Thx on the application of Seafoam Spray!! 👍👍👍!!!!
Thank you, Eric. Glad you like!
1993 Dodge 250 pick up. 318 V8. Ran REALLY rough. Like hardly could keep it going. I thought I needed a valve job. Couldn't find any vacuum leaks.
A can in the tank and a can of spray into the intake and a little driving. I even forgot to warm it up, but it's driving NICE. I love this stuff.
Great news! Thanks for posting! Now that you have the hang of it can tell your friends, then just keep after it every few months (or 2 to 4 treatments/year).
did all of this.. is there a reason my car didn't smoke like I've seen in other videos??
Hi Jordan: Sea Foam Spray applied through the intake can appear from exhaust in the form of white oil vapor. There are many variables that determine more or less. Does it matter? No. Is it a factor or indicator? Not at all.
Sea Foam Official thank you for the response. I didnt mind not seeing smoke as the car runs much better! Great product! Thanks for the response!
Our pleasure/glad to help!
It smokes alot when u add it tru the vacume hose it's a diffrent procedure. I suck 1 can into the vacuum hose and let it sit overnight. This stuff works awsome, also i recommend marvel oil and lucas are my top 3 goto products.
Respectfully, please don't suck any fluid through a vacuum line. That's an easy way hydrolock your engine - can easily end up bending connecting rods and the whole chain of events... You're also NOT atomizing the product, so the product is just getting pushed out/going to waste.
Fellows: Take note that this guy makes it look simple; it isn't.
The instruction to have a helper keep the RPMs at a certain point presents a single guy with a problem. On my 2000 Corolla, you have to carefully keep the throttle increased a bit as you spray in the SeaFoam to keep the engine running. Near the end of the process, you will get considerable white smoke out of the tailpipe, which is the varnish, etc. being burned and flushed loose. My Advance Auto guy helped me do it (he has done it many times) and once you see it done, it is simple. The red skinny tube should not touch the 'butterfly' valve... just nearly touch it when it's opened.
Doug H. in VA thanks for the tip with the red straw. I put it past the throttle plate and it pinched the straw shut. Time to try again
So you didn't follow directions....
So exactly what was shown and explained in the video.....
use a stick and your seat to hold the accelerator at the required position. not hard.
Bryan, my truck is running like a BEAST! thnx!
That's great news! Thanks for sharing and always feel free to track us down if you have any questions.
Sea Foam Official how can I track u down Mr.Seafoam?
I just did it to my 2016 F-150 5.0 with 60k on it. I have to say Nice it worked well. Let it hot soak then took it for a ride hit the gas and it bogged down then pooped out a big white smoke cloud and wow it has more throttle response and idles really smooth now. Thanks small business owner! I saw and feel the difference.
Awesome news - thx Michael!
i also have 2016 5.0 F150. did you also do the bottle in the fuel tank? how full was the tank? do you have the 23 or 36 gallon tank? thanks in advance.
My Cadillac CTS was idling rough even after doing plugs and coils, had fuel injector code on cylinder 4..put in some seafoam and no more flashing engine light or rough idle.
Very good demonstration
Im impressed with this product i used one can ,a third in my vacuum , a third in my gas tank and a third in my engine oil, engine runs much smoother more power, it used to clank a bit for a minute on cold start now its much quieter and it was down on power and bogging at low rpm, now has the power it should, best product of this type I have ever used
Hi Rex: We appreciate your post and thanks for using Sea Foam!
I noticed if you use it in your oil crankcase it has a tendency to ruin the valve cover gasket.
Thank you! This was super helpful.
Awesome. Great instructing. I'm getting ready to do it to my 95 cobra now.
I got a 02 mustang convertible... Did it work in your cobra
I never sprayed it directly in the intake because I have no help. but I did pour the seafoam liquid that goes directly in the gas tank. I did it to my 95 5.0 pushrod and my 97 Mercury Cougar 4.6 sohc I didn't notice a difference except light white smoked puffing till the tank is empty or gets diluted from adding more gas. I added my merc cause yours is ohc. I do wanna try the spray directly into the intake on both cars. No help 😕
Great video. Still helpful 6 years later lol
I got my Toyota Tundra 2000 clean up it has 135,000 miles. thanks Sea Foam.
+Alfredo Solorio Thanks for sharing, Alfredo - Always glad to hear!
Thanks this was super helpful!
Glad - thanks for the post!
Help me out a lot thanks guys
I love this method definitely works
Alright now after some research I'm gonna use this seafoam on my car. I hope the guarentee and what this guy said about you can never use too much is true and solid. Will be back with update
Your money's worth or your money back!
And thanks for giving it a try, btw.
Best intake cleaner out there.
salman617 have you ever heard of BG
I couldn't get my air intake boot off so just sprayed carburetor cleaner spray through it. I had concerns id screw something up but so far seems ok after I did a test drive. It doesn't seem to struggle accelerating at stops and down highway as much. Lot better.
does the amount of fuel in the car determine when I should put the sea foam in my gas tank? I have a 540i 94 BMW and it stalled the other day while switching the gear into drive.
Sweet video thank you!
you guys at sea foam rock !
Just started using this stuff on my ‘99 Expedition. Seems to make a difference!
Thanks, Adam. Very glad to hear!
Ryan thank you so much! My Jaguar Stype shut off on limp mode while on the highway because of dirty throttle body. I'll try this tomorrow and hopefully it will work!
Thank you, Adolfo. Be sure to look for instructions on the website's HOW 2 Instructions page.
Sea foam best stuff on the market without doubt.
I commented last week on what a great video This is, I also plan on running the sea from spray into my Toyota 4Runner and then one can in my Toyota Avalon, my question is besides cleaning the throttle body will this also clean the idle air control valve below the throttle body ? Thanks and keep the great videos coming seafoam is the bomb..👍👍👍
Yes, will help to clean your idle control. You can also remove the idle air control valve to spray directly.
Good job
11/10 would buy again. I drank a whole can of this shit and scored perfect on my finals this semester. Great video man! Really helped me out!
I did this on my 2000 Ranger and the difference was amazing. It runs so smoothly now.
Was your Ranger acting "funny"?
@@Nicholas_Triumph_Thruxton It was running rough but it wasn't really clattering. It's also getting better fuel mileage now.
@@randall1959 Thank you for the quick response. Yeah, I don't know what is going on with my '98 Ranger. It was running fine, and then one morning it just cranked, but wouldn't turn over. I put some starter fluid in the throttle body, and it started right up. I drove it around, and it didn't die out, clatter, etc. on me. However, after a couple of days of sitting, it did the same thing when I tried to turn it on. I used starter fluid again, and no problem. Now, I'm driving with a can of starter fluid and an 8mm socket wrench. Any thoughts?
@@Nicholas_Triumph_Thruxton try cleaning the MAF sensor
@@randall1959 Yeah, I'll give that another shot. I've used maf cleaner before on it. Couldn't hurt. I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks bro you're a life safer God Bless.
with this formal will it clean the EGR valve
Yes right to the point well done.
Thank You for the reply and Info...
Glad to help!
I’m going to try the sea foam gas treatment and I take cleaner combo on my old Jeep tonight. Trying to clean the old girl out and hopefully clean my injectors too.
Thanks for the informative video. I'll try this on my 97 Tahoe with 250k....
Hi Michael: Let us know what happens!
It went absolutely as you said. I followed your directions to a ree....my 1997 Tahoe 5.7 liter and it runs smoother and no hesitation that I had previously. I'm very pleased.
I've also saw videos were they used Seafoam in the brake booster vacuum line. Is there a need to use Seafoam there as well?
Keep ur videos coming buddy!!!
Thanks, Michael. Though Sea Foam Spray through throttle body and pouring a liquid into a vacuum line reach the same upper engine areas,....Sea Foam Spray works FAR better! Vacuum line is wasteful since it does not cover cylinders evenly and much of the liquid gets pushed out the exhaust valve.
Sea Foam Official Thank you much for your reply and I’m gonna film the throttle body with Seafoam... I’ll video the process!
Finally someone who works on cars with as many mosquitoes are we have
I have a question is that hook guide made by you or can you get it in a parts store or if you can't find one can you just use any kind of small vacuum hose or whatever goes over that tube the red tube?
Is it better to do the treatment before or after an oil change, or does it even matter? Also I have throttle body injection (chevy s10 blazer with 4.3 v6) so is this the proper method for my engine? Great video, thanks.
Thank you for the question. Cleaning the top engine area has no relationship the crankcase oil so can do any time during an oil life interval. Yes, will work great on your truck's throttle body intake.
beautiful. even the same motor I needed help on. I removed my throttle body and cleaned it (it was filthy ) did my best on the intake manifold. I'm wondering what my valves look like if my throttle body looked the way it did. I noticed you moved the throttle plate with your hand, I did as well when cleaning it but it was completely removed. I was telling a guy about that and he told me he had to replace a throttle body once because he moved it by hand and threw a sensor out of wack or something. does the cable need to be disconnected from the TB when inserting the seafoam nozzle?
Thanks, Michael. To answer your question: No, no disconnection. The video doesn't leave out anything. As far as the throttle plate goes, most Chevys are OK to push if keys are off. Ultimately, there's no need to touch the throttle plate whatsoever Have a helper turn the key on and press the foot pedal to show what side of the plate turns in.
I first used SeaFoam spray in a 2012 Chevy Avalanche 5.3L. I was unsuccessful with the smoke show at the end but I believe I did it incorrectly (I think it’s because I left the straw of the van fully extended, as opposed to cutting it down so the spray had more pressure towards the throttle plate). I just performed it on my 2007 Charger, I cut the straw down and forced it into the throttle more, let it soak for 10 minutes and started it. Originally I had a slight backfire and some smoke, it did throw an engine light but that quickly went away (presumably because of the MAF, even though I applied it after it) and gunned it going uphill, and it looked like someone set off 4 smoke bombs!! They weren’t kidding when they say it cleans! It’ll be interesting to see how much my fuel mileage increases! I plan to use SeaFoam again!
Looking forward to doing the intake valve cleaning on my 2017 Silverado 5.3. You want the spray straw 1/4 of an inch from the top of the throttle body plate correct?
Jay Seyna clear cut directions are on the back of the can, you might need a magnifying glass to read them !
Vary informative thank's
Best video. I appreciate it. I'm car dumb
Thanks for the channel and the product. I entree to know if you have a car with two intakes and throttle bodies, should you do one or two cans? Or bother at the sane time or staggered? Thank you for any help provided.
Great question. You can do a can for each throttle body or split by treating with a half can per side.
This is the correct way to do that
I have a question. Is it safe to use on a plastic intake from a lexus GS300 3GR-FSE engine? Thank you in advance and greetings from the netherlands.
I just Used the product mentioned above. Is it normal for the car to feel sluggish afterwards?
Edit : Kia soul 2016 1.6L 150k miles. it's good now. Just had to run it hard for a bit. Idles a lil better now.
Update to the update: My car is now having issues accelerating. It's not coughing when accelerating, Is just one I floor it the RPM is delayed. Whereas where i gradually accelerate it is not affected. Explain please
Get er hot and ready, good tip.
Great video! Why do I see some people putting in their vacuum tubes instead of doing it this way??
+MrandMrsHayday That's a great (and important) question! Application through the vacuum line works EXCEPT not as thoroughly. THREE IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES: 1) Vacuum line application does not clean the upper Intake while Sea Foam Spray cleans oil and gasoline vapor residues from the upper intake (throttle body, manifold) to the chamber. 2) Depending on engine make, vacuum application does not always feed all cylinders while Sea Foam Spray into the throttle body works its way throughout the entire top end, then into all cylinders. 3) Safer for non-professionals! The Spray version correctly applied through the throttle body eliminates the risk of liquid in a cylinder (vacuum induction misapplication), which is why Sea Foam notes "PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE" on the Sea Foam Motor Treatment can.
I'm getting a P0401 on my 04 Expediton and really hope this works so I don't have to remove my throttle body. Replace the EGR Valve, sensor, Solenoid, and worn rubber fitting. Got rid of all the other codes but that one.
Stuff wears out but definitely worth a shot. I would try two treatments back to back. Let us know what happens!
Hello... I'm curious to know. My car.. veloster turbo 2013 is misfiring. Has anyone used in gas tank? It blows out black smoke ove you punch it! I gradually build up excelaration due to the misfiring...
Any tips are welcomed!?
WoW, hmm now to try this, thanks for sharing Sir. Sure hope it works on my 94 Chevy s10 LS 2.2 pickup.
Thanks, Doug. Let us know!
Sea Foam Official yes Sir this stuff is the best, I could not believe the results, (AMAZING) thank you folks for making it.
Great - Glad you like, thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and using Sea Foam!
Thank you for making this video very useful
Hey Bryan, thanks for the video. I think I accidentally Sprayed the intake through the air filter and thus some of the cleaner might have gotten inside the engine, is that dangerous? Thank you
I would not be too worried. It's supposed to go into the engine, btw. If you sprayed INTO your air filter, replace the air filter because the Sea Foam oil soaked in the filter won't go away cause a lot of dust/dirt to stick.
