RPM's bouncing in idle after Seafoam

Hey guys, I just did the seafoam through the main vacumn line and now my rpms are bouncing a little at idle. What do you think the cause is?

did you hook the vacuum line back up?

seafoam will cause it to idle funny until all the seafoam is gone

if you made sure vacuum line is hooked back up, give it some gass!!!!!!

Not really much to go wrong, I have noticed on some vehicle that after using seafoam they ran a little different for a couple hundred miles. I think it is affected by how gummed up every thing is in side. I would dive the sh*t out of it for a couple tanks and see how it does.

Yeah you guys are probably right. A couple of times I have started it and it has been all right so I guess it's just working itself out. It does have 242,000 miles also so it's probably a little dirty...

I fixed it...while cleaning my throttle body I noticed a little line that was disconnected. Of course I hooked it back up and the car immediately went to a smooth idle. I'm at 242,000 and I'm gunning to see if I can get to 500K at least. It's been a great car and relatively easy to work on as well.

Good luck, take each 100k milestone one at a time and keep up with the good "PM".
