SeaFoam 1999

So I just SeaFoamed my 3.4L.... Put the pint in about 16 gallons of gas like the dude at O'Reilly told me to. What's freeking me out is that I did not get the white cloud after firing her up... what's up with my car??:wtf:

I think that only happens when you put it in the vacuum under the hood

 

[ncockerham04]

sweeet. that's what i was thinking. worth doing?

 

[Tucson4runner]

Yeah. I bought a can of the stuff when it was on sale at autozone. Ive been told that if you put it in your oil you should do an oil change within 500 miles or so. So I'm waiting till I need oil. I'm putting 1/3 in gas tank 1/3 in vacuum and last 1/3 in oil. From what I've read that's the way to get best results. But I'm Alittle scared cuz I have a 00' with 188000 miles and this stuff works so well that it may uncover leaks that have been clogged by varnish or other debris so still on the fence Alittle.

 

[ncockerham04]

yeah man. like i said, i just put a full can in my tank. my 99 has 219k on it... runs really well. i feel like it made a difference. might not even do the vacuum tube now.

 

[Tucson4runner]

Yeah after reading the back I think I'm going to pour an entire can in the tank today and ill buy another for the oil when its ready

Once you see those massive white clouds of smoke bellowing out of your tailpipe, you will feel a huge level of satisfaction and giddy excitement!:banana:

how was your runner running before? mine is running great i just wanted to do it to see if it could get any better

 

[ncockerham04]

ya know... she ran great before, but now i feel like she runs super smooth. no oscillation in my idle anymore. when i put down my foot, she runs through the gears very smooth. was definitely worth the 10 bucks man. i can for sure tell a difference and that my injectors were, in face, cleaned well.

yes the white cloud of smoke is normal and fine...i do like stated above..1/3 in gas 1/3 in oil 1/3 threw throttle body...sometimes i just do 1/2 in gas 1/2 in throttle body...

have someone sit in driver seat to stay on the gas and rev it up pretty high then slowly pour it straight into the motor...i do this with my geo metro witch has almost 300,000 miles and the first time i done it, it made a 100% bigger difference...

it basically gets all that gunk and carbon out of the motor...
