Just a side note - as per the pic above - you don't want to disconnect it from the engine side, but rather the other end as you want the engine to suck it in.

 

im gonna try to do this soon as the rain clears up, and im gonna try to make a video to see how much smoke comes out when i rev.. thanks the the tips and the pics dre

 

you're all welcome and rep points are yummy!

 

I did this a while back and a couple days later my check engine light came on (EGR flow insufficient code). I'm thinking the EGR was partially clogged and when all that carbon came through some of it clogged and restricted flow enough to throw the code. I took it to the dealer and got the EGR fixed under the emissions warranty (I didn't mention the Seafoam). I would still recommend it. Just be aware that it could contribute to an EGR code, especially since EGR problems are common on our cars.

 

I've got the EGR code now, I'm hoping it'll clean it up! I guess I may have to do it twice.

 

my check engine light came on when I did it too, but I just reset it and it didn't come back.

 

Reset via pulling the ECU fuse?

 

I can't find anything to pull the fuses out with. I just disconnect the battery.

 

yeah, thats what i did too

no problems here

 

ok kinda diggin this up.. but i got my oil changed yesturday and my mechanic was like wtf is sea foam, thats bullcrap dont do it.. is he full of crap? i was gonna go 2 napa today and do it

 

haha hey lets meet up...i wanna see your car blow up...i mean smoke...lol.

 

your mechanic just might not be familiar with the brand name......neither was my mechanic. I told him it was a motor treatment and he was like, yeah yeah, we do that. He told me they charge 75 bucks to do it.

 

fine its supposed 2 rain tomororow soon as it dries youll see black smoke all around the sgv



good im a cop some from napa or autozone (if they have it) my pep boys didnt have it.. F what my mechanic said hes retarded tryin 2 tell me not 2 drop my car bc it will ruin my tires.. camber kit

 

Gosh! Friggin Idiots!

 

i just did this on my tacoma too.. haha.. it works great!

BUT seriously! on the CL.. after i used seafoam on the PCV valve.. the intake is 10x louder.. .. I actually hear the sucking noise loud and clear

 

im a do it then.. maybe my exhaust will sound loud n clear.. my car doesnt start immedietly in cold weather.. when there is "cold" weather in so cal

 

My new years resolution is to finally get my power steering Back!!!! hahaha my pump went up and I could not find the right year pump for my h22 for the life of me, but this year, I will find it. Hint,...........I didn't want to buy a new one.....

 

holy crap! i just bought some and the rain stopped so i used this stuff.. OH DAMN!! all white smoke but still i got vids i need somebody to host em..

 

Talk to Klepto, maybe (hopefully) he'll make a DIY page on his site for this.

 

I just did this to my 98CL yesterday. Doesn't really feel any different now(Power or sound). I have 95K on the car and I'm sure there's plenty of carbon.

I have a few questions to all you car experts.

1. Is it just the seafoam that's making all the fumes or is it really the carbon?
2. If this is tried on a new clean car would it not smoke?
3. I only let the car sit for 5mins. Should I have let it sit longer?
4. Should I wait for a few miles to try it again?

 

is this seafoam avail in canada? if so, where?

 

I used the seafoam again because I wasn't sure if I did it right the first time.
A lot more thick fumes came out this time but now the car shakes at idle. I also have a EGR flow insufficient code.(EGR problem was there before the seafoam)
Could I have some of the carbon that got loose now stuck in the EGR that's causing this idle problem or could it be the spark plugs?
The Plugs, Cap and rotor were replaced at 90K.(5K ago).
Anybody else had this issue after a seafoam treatment?

 

^ Read the first page. I believe in V6 performance the guy said to let your car sit for 3-5 hours ( the longer the better ) then turn your car on and watch it dust your neighbors houses, kill their grass, and leave destroy their plants.

 

anyone have a pic of what this seafoam looks like? i can find it at my autoparts store

 

here ya go...next time try searchin in goolge under the images section.

or the sea foam website seafoamsales.com


ed: google

 

should this seafoam be done with a car that has 180k???

 

Yeah, at 180K you have a lot of carbon build up, I think you could do it.

that can looks like a can of shaving cream

 

are you sure that there will be no side effects?

 

for sure... anybody have a picture showing what hose to put it in on a 2.X

 

are you serious..look on page 2...2.3...same on 2.2(i know cause i did it)

remove the hose from the pcv side

 

dont get sassy with me, your job as a noobile is to point these obvious things out to me because my seniority allows me to be lazy

 

don't get sassy with your elders,

 

not being sassy...well a little..but it was there just had to look as i did.

 

i was kidding..


i decided that i'm gpoing to pick up some seafoam from work today and shoot video when the carbon shoots out.. lol

 

not much came out for me...all white smoke....

 

hmmm.. maybe you didnt use enough muhhuhahahaaa

 

maybe or i didnt let is sit long enough.....

about a third/fourth and let it sit 15 mins

 

sassy

 

your sassy :wink:
