Guide: How to Use Sea Foam! PICS
Hey guys,
Just to start off, I finally found Sea Foam from a local automotive dealer near Toronto. Here is a write up of what I did to use Sea Foam, Im sure other people have their own methods, but this is picture detailed so those dummies like me can do it too. :dancingco

1. Divide the can/cans into portions. Most people divide it into 1/3's. But I used a can and a half and divided it into 3 portions of 1/2 a can each.
2. Keeping the car off, pour one portion into the gas tank.

3. Keeping the car still off, pour one portion into the oil reservoir.

4. While the car is still off, disconnect the Brake Booster Hose between the Brake Booster and Intake Manifold. You need to pinch a little metal piece and slide it down, then wiggle the booster and pull really hard up to get it off, its tight. Here are some pictures for the handicapped and the wetawded. (Which was me before)

GOOD, You finally managed to use some muscle to wiggle that thing off.
Now turn on your car. The revs should be low and it will sound like your car wants to stall. Use a funnel with a small opening and stick it into the brake booster line and SLOWLY VERY SLOWLY pour the last portion of Sea foam down the funnel. At an extremely slow rate...your engine will sound like it wants to stall...then slow the pouring maybe even stop until it revs higher again, then keep pouring. Dont worry if it takes a few min or longer to pour the damn thing in. If your car does stall cause you have no patience, then simply turn it on again.

Now once its all in. I turned off my car. And reconnected the Brake Booster Hose. Then turn your car back on for approximately 20-30min until all the white smoke has cleared out for 5 min or so. When I first revved my engine after I poured everything in. This is what it will look like. YOU WANT WHITE SMOKE, NOT BLACK.

LAST STEP: Once all the smoke is done. Id strongly suggest you find a time to change your oil, you dont have to be rushed but soon would be good. And also change your spark plugs and possibly your o2 sensor.
YOUR ARE NOW DONE. You will now enjoy the miracle that everyone knows to be called SEA FOAM. BTW: If you have anymore questions you can pm me here, or e-mail me at chi_chen@rogers.com. And Also tahnks to someone on these boards with aim: trigtm I read his post and basically did what he stated, but now Im posting pics. If anythings wrong, feel free to flame me. Wait on second thought...ahh whatever, flame away.
