you remove a plastic engine cover and a hose clamp and its hose- at TB to manifold-
the direction the metal nipple revealed when hose removed- may point back or sideways or front--if it will suck your finger on tight/ makes engine run smooth when covered, and has a hose clamp opened with pliers- not the screwdriver type...right place!
DONT shoot it down the hose!! it goes in the engine side thru the metal nipple

Wow, you guys are still doing seafoam through the intake. I'm disappointed.

Is it obvious lol.

I just hate the way it's used and at the mileage it's used at.

It should not go in the oil since it's a solvent.

Nothing should go in the intake except for air.

Gas tank is fine.

It has to go into the manifold as a vapor use a hose and put it into the bottle. attached the hose onto the vaccum line either high vaccum port line or brake power booster vaccum line. take off from brake power booster. The line that feeds from the booster into the manifold. it just has to go in as a vapor. let it slowly work itself.

How do you figure it goes in as a vapor? It goes in a large vacuum line and nearly kills the engine. It cleans by going in as a liquid and flashing off in the combustion chamber. What little cleaning it does do would be completely negated if it went in as a vapor. It's comical people worry about hydrolocking their engines when they install a CAI yet dump a fluid down the booster vacuum line.
