The DIC problems keep coming back, Once i smack it just right it'll work fine, but if i turn off the car, then turn it back on its gone again and i've yet to find the sweet spot to apply violence. I'm guessing its a wiring problem, you guys got any suggestions?

I'm not sure on the DIC, maybe a sensor issue?

I wish I knew what to do to seafoam my car. I really want to but I don't want to mess anything up.

GTP looks nice too!

It's actually really easy. b while doing an oil change buy 2 cans, pour one in the gas tank when its full. Pour half of one into the oil, then disconnect the brake booster, start up the car, you'll have to give it a bit more gas to keep it alive. Have someone pour the sea foam into the brake booster slowly until youve used most of it, then dump it all. Shut off the car for a few minutes. Go on a joy ride, and change your oil in about 500 miles.

Oh yeah, then again i dont think its been cleaned since it was made. The throttle was more responsive, i got better mileage, smoother idle, plus the exhaust smells and sounds cleaner.

For an L67 or L32 (supercharged) you are not supposed to pour it in the brake booster line since it's before the TB and will strip the teflon coating off the supercharger rotors

Instead, use the vacuum line that goes into the lower intake manifold

Well I wish I would have known that earlier today... I guess whats done is done.
I don't mean to discredit you or anything, but can you show me something proving this? I've been googling it like crazy and everything i see about seafom in the brake booster says it works fine, even in an l67...

This is a good read, i want to seafoam but I do not want to put it on the booster line for same reason BBE posted, In this thread they mention to use a spot by the supercharge.. lemme find it

*edit*

I don't know if this is true, and i have not done it myself.
Maybe we can clear this so that us boosting can seafoam ours.
