Vacuum line identity?

So - im gonna Seafoam this weekend - pretty stoked to see what all the rave is about. Feeling a little lost in a very simple aspect of the process...

Which line is my VACUUM LINE???

I've search, and seen only broken links to the pics I need to see...

Can anyone help, post a pic, explain well?

Thanks~

check the diy- the first page of directions are pretty good- but show wrong port
about post #147 the correct port is shown
Rmove the 4 bolts holding the plastic engine cover on- remove the cover and place safely somewhere
You cannot miss the vac line WITH clamp on it--and the throttle assembly
If you buy 1 can 16 oz can Seafoam for the gas tank- put it in 1/2 tank
And 1 can Deep Creep- its seafoam in a paint spray can- thats way easier to use and control what happening putting it in the vac port
Look for the Seafoam threads and there is all you need to know!

AWESOME! Perfect pics!

So I get a good dose of the FOAM in there, replace the hose?
Let it set, and then go for a heated cruise.

I plan on a whole bottle in my gas at half tank just before the pre-dose warm up run - Can I change my plugs after, that same day with my gas still foamed???

Thanks~

slow sips or squirts are the key- should take 10 minutes to get foam in vac port
Make sure to warm the engine with 10 minute freeway cruise before seafoam- the follow the directions of the post-drive to loosen and blow the crud out- failure to follow directions will lessen results
Wait a few days for the grunge to clear out before replacing spark plugs- give them a good clean home- not one in progress- the gas tank is still cleaning stuff as it goes thru the engine

that line sucks with a mighty force indeed! It was loud too!
She ate it all up and things went smoothly. I posted a little write up on the experience.

Thanks 01tl4tl
