i looked up the seafoam and they only have it for diesel engine and 4 and 2 cylinder
Otherwise try another cleaner like STP or something you can buy at a local Auto Shop like AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts, NAPA...

Start by cleaning your TB the best way is off the car with TB cleaner but if you are not mechanicly incline than you can by a spray TB cleaner and do it that way, If that doesn't work try cleaning the injectors (not dumping additive in the gas tank) but running cleaning fluid through the injectors thats the only way to clean fuel injectors if they are clogged, The additive in the tank stuff will keep em clean after that.

Throttle Body- You can buy any kind of spray TB cleaner as long as it says oxygen sensor safe. Every parts store has it on the shelf I use K&W or CRC. I use it when I clean my air filter(every 8-10K) it's a must for the daily driver with a K&N or any CAI
