Need help finding a vacuum line that feeds all 6 cylinders to spray Seafoam DeepCreep

[Slinks]

I bought a can of Seafoam Deep Creep to spray in my '95 4Runner since it's got a rough idle and the can of Deep Creep is supposed to help remove the builtup carbon deposits and hopefully fix my rough idle problem or at least improve it. The Seafoam Deep Creep website states "With engine warm, keep on high idle and spray through vacuum lines that feed all cylinders. I also found an instructional video clip from the makers of Deep Creep at the following website:

http://videos.streetfire.net/search/Seafoam/0/0cb9e4aa-11aa-439d-a8e6-986600e99b6f.htm

The man in the instructional video says to "spray directly into the intake manifold via the booster hose that goes to the brake", he then says it's also a vacuum hose. I took 3 pics of my engine and am hoping someone could point out which hose I should be spraying the Deep Creep in. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get the pics on this post so maybe someone can help me with that too.

What you need to do is to find any vacuum line on your intake manifold that is BEFORE the intake runners. If you had a picture, I could point one out for you, but it should be easy enough to find one on your own.

Any vacuum line that you can find on the intake manifold will work....just be sure that it is before the runners to ensure that you get the Sea Foam spray throughout the entire intake system.

I think I got the pic uploaded. If so, think you can point one out for me? As you can tell i'm clueless with these things, i'm not sure what you mean by "runners"? Thanks for the reply though

Does the one i'm pointing to with the yellow arrow work?

you can use the brake booster line going to the plenum... it feeds the manifold and thus all runners.

its located on the big plastic thing behind the brake fluid resivoir.

Oh, okay, so it would be where the red arrow is pointing then right? Sorry, for being so slow, I just want to make sure I get this right. Thanks for all your help

Sorry about missing this thread...it kinda fell of the map.

Yes, you can use that hose, but do it at the other end, where it connects to the intake plenum.

If he did it at the other end he'd be pouring seafoam into his brake booster... that cant be good!!

I've always just disconnected it from the booster and poured it in there.. too difficult most of the time to disconnect it from the plenum then use another hose or feeder to get it in there. In the years and years I've been using this method, I've never had a hose problem.

He doesn't need another hose.... he can just pop the hose off the plenum and shoot it right into the nipple without using a hose at all.

Ahh.. I'm sorry. I did not catch the "Deep Creep" part of it, which is in an aresol can.

I'm so used to using the regular SeaFoam in its liquid form.

Thanks for all your help guys. I did as advised and followed that hose to the other end and sprayed in the Deep Creep. This last pic shows the exact location where I sprayed it. I only used half the can and the rough idle problem has definitely improved but has not been completely eliminated. I'm going to use the other half can tomorrow and if anyone else knows anything else I should try, I'm all ears. Thanks again guys.

Great picture. Everyone is talking about this Seafoam so I tried it. Man! I never saw so much smoke. I was getting worried someone would call the cops or the fire dept. Everything seemed to work as described. I'll have to wait for the next fill-up to see if it helped the mileage, but it seems to be running fine, don't know if it helped yet, but it didn't hurt.

Something I have tried on other cars in the past with great results is AutoRX. I am going to use it in my new 08 Runner as a maint dose going forward, but for those with high mileage engines, this stuff really works well.

does anyone still have these pictures?
