Default Seafoam

So I have noticed alot of people on the board are talking about 'Seafoam'. What exactly is it? What does it do? And how do I use it? Also, about how much is it?

so basic instructions

buy can
open can
turn car on
open hood
locate brake booster @ back of engine
pull off vacuum line with plastic knuckle thing
stick hose in (with plastic piece) into can andsuck out 1/3 to 1/2 of can, this may take a while, car may sound like its going to stall
shut car off, when 1/3 of can in, or try to stall it out, pour another 1/3 in gas tank, and another 1/3 in your oil (this cleans out all the seals and lifters and things)

then let sit for aboug 10-15 min, then start up and rev right up as hard as you can, blow out all smoke then take it for a drive, drive her like you stole it

no, its just by feel, you can look inside as your pouring, there's nothing in that can that will hurt anything even if you put the whole can in...not gonna hurt anything...


so yah...just 1/3 right where you pour the oil in

1/3 in vacuum line
1/3 in gas tank
1/3 in oil

yah thats where you pull the hose off, pull that whole yellow cap off and everything,

chris on yours its a big black metal round thing on the firewall on the driverside, should have a rubber line going into it, while the car is running pull that rubber line and connecter out of the booster and stick it in the can and let it suck about 1/3 of stuff out of the can, then shut the car off, and let sit for 10-15 min, when you start it back up rev it right up really good till it stops blowing the majority of smoke, then take it for a drive and drive it like you stole it
