Sea Foam, NEED HELP QUICK.

[Skidzz]

I've only got today to do this. I wont have another day off for a week. I'm trying to use seafoam, and if I'm not mistaken the pvc valve is the little valve thats plugged into the passenger side valve cover, right? If so, its going to be really difficult to get to because it's right under my intake hose, and my strut tower bar is on top of that. Should I just take my intake hose off? It also says I can pour it directly into the TB. But how the hell do I angle it right to do that? I doubt a funnel would work. Does anyone know an easier way to do this?

Oh, and i just now tried to pour it directly into the TB. It can't be done because if you disconnect the intake hose from the TB, car engine dies. WTF

Look on the side of the throttle body, there should be a hose that goes from there to the PVC valve. I think I pulled that hose off and put on my own hose. What you should do is:

1. start the car first, find a little wedge and wedge it between the set screw that is used to adjust the butterfly valve (how far open it will stay when you are off the throttle). Wedge the piece of wood in so the idle is high enough so the car doesn't die too quick when the sea faom is sucked in.

2. After finding the right amount to wedge the wood in, stop the car, disconnect the pcv hose from the throttle body, put your own hose on (a good length), have your cup of sea foam ready and your thumb over the hose so the car will not die from running lean, have a friend start the car and make sure the wedge is in palce to hold the idle high, and when you're ready - take your thumb off the hose and quickly jam it in the cup of sea foam. Once all the sea faom is gone and if the car is still stumbling I would pull the wedge out or just have your friend turn the ignition off.

Clean up the mess, reconnect the hose and wait. then fire the baby up and smoke out the neighborhood.

Thanks a lot man. I saw that threat last night but I guess I didn't read far enough into it.

Well i just did it and it worked, although I didn't have NEARLY the amount of smoke people were talking about. It was a pretty light smoke that lasted about 15-20 minutes. But the engine DOES seem to be running better than it was. It wasn't running bad to begin with, but I figured since I just hit 60k on the odometer that it couldn't hurt to try it. Maybe I didn't use enough seafoam? Or maybe my engine just wasn't that dirty.

How much did you use? Half a can is good... Did you kill the engine right after you sucked it in and then lit it sit for ten minutes or so?

I only used about 1/3 of a can. But yea I did all the rest of what you said. BUT the car is still running better.
