So back in the summer when we bought sarah's car we seafoamed it out at my buddies place...made her car run sooo much better *has almost 200xxxMiles on it*, and at that time i bought a can of it for my car. I never got around to using it untill a day ago. I had some ticking coming from my head *think it was some carbon built up on on the valve seat beacuse i was burning some oil too. Any ways, i used it yesterday, 5 min after using it, no more tick, idel is much more constant, runs smooth as silk now. My idel use to jump around the 700-800 mark..now it sits perfectly at 750.
I seriously recomend using it. We are selling some other stuff at my work that does the same thing with an oil treatment for $66, go out and spend the $8 on a can and buy some seafoam. |

what I did was pulled the small idle adjustment hose thing that runs from that valve on the bottom of the throttle body to one of the nipples on the top of the throttle body. disconnecting that hose makes your engine idle around 2000 RPM, so no need to rev the engine. then allow it to slowly suck the seafoam in. don't submerge the hose in the stuff or the engine will die. do it nice and slow and then right when you're getting to the end, submerge it so the engine dies. let it sit for like 15 minutes and start it up. it's gonna take some cranking to get it started, but then when you do you'll have a munch of white smoke coming out the tailpipe and a cleaner engine I'd strongly recommend that you DON'T put it in your oil! if you do, it's supposed to be right before an oil change, you only have it in your oil for a couple minutes then you drain and refill your oil with new oil. as for the gasoline, you can do that, but I'd sooner use chevron's techron (my auto teacher who is extremely knowledgable strongly recommends it). not just chevron gas but the little bottles you can buy at an auto parts store. he says chevron "with techron" gas isn't worth it because they don't put near enough in it to actually clean anything.
