you dont even really need to pour, just stick the hose up to the can and it will suck it out, but yah if you put it in too fast it will stall

I will get it checked out soon. I have about 600 bucks to do some repairs. I bet its probably bad wires and a bad coil, my luck lol. I hope not though

I run Sea Foam in both our 5th gen Monte`s and my `91 Blazer. Add it to the gas and also to the oil on engine oil changes. Nothing like it! This stuff is worth the cost, just follow the directions.

Yeah I had a little valvetrain clatter (I don't know why) on my 3800 in my '99, and I put Sea Foam right in the crank case and it stopped it completely. My next oil change I'm going to put it in again.

I have bad experience with sea foam.
Although it does smooth out idle and clean the carbon out of the motor I have done it on two vehicles and on both vehicles the o2 sensors went out after I did it.
I dont know if it is just a cuinsidence or what.

What the Sea Foam did was clean the carbon out and deposited it on the O2 sensors. But I`ll say this...regular use of it will keep any engine running smooth. With gas the way it is these days it helpos alot I believe.

Be careful adding it to your oil. Seafoam is a major detergent and will thin your oil. I always change my oil after I seafoam the engine through the pcv valve.

I have used it on many cars, bikes, and chainsaws. It works great to soak **** it, just not to long, it is pretty strong.

WOW!!! LOVE SEA FOAM@!!!!!!!!

I used it in my '91 firebird. Frickin amazing! It was white, and buddy of mine did it for me. When he started revin the engine up, I lost the car! There was a 20 foot smoke cloud around it! Of course, the exhause leak under the hood didn't help any....

Car ran like a champ afterwords. Simply amazing stuff!

You would have thought the geniuses could have come-up with a better Brand Name other than "SeaFoam"

I hear Sea Foam and I think of a closed beach due to high levels of nastiness in the water at the moment.

I haven't seen enough evidence to believe in the stuff, yet. But, I'm sure it's cheaper than driving your car to Lourdes and praying for a miracle rather than dropping it off and getting the Codes read and a tune-up!

I guess it just like "Draino" in a way. Instead of throwing your money directly into the toilet ... you buy a can of stuff that makes the toilet water fizz WHILE you flush your money down the toilet!
