Post Thanks fella's

New to Acurazine. I have been browsing this website for quite some time now and there is a ton of great information. I just seafoamed my car yesterday and everything turned out great. I would have never known how to otherwise. I was amazed how much smoke came out my exhaust. I was glad there were no cars behind me because that easily could have caused an accident.

Welcome bud. I am about to do mine after 112k miles and a couple of my other friends. Hopefully neighbors don't call the EPA on us.

There are a lot of good people on here with lots of useful information and depending where you are people will help you with the things you have trouble doing.

Just stay out of the black market.

I have an automatic.
Can't wait to do some future mods like CAI and Exhaust. I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate through this site.
Like I always see people posting thing to look up in the 3G garage but i have no idea where that is

You will probably have to have a certain amount of post before you can do it.

So I just went to my car and the "engine light" is on. I know it is on because I forgot to clamp the O2 sensor all the way on before I started the car.

Does anyone know how to fix this or do I have to go somewhere and have them do it????

how did you mess with the O2 sensor on seafoam?
If you mean the vacuum line was left off at the TB connection thats no sweat

Im an earlier year which may differ- so check the garage section-
normally on the TL you can pull the CLOCK fuse on passenger side foot or dash end.
thats the secret backup power to the ECU and forces a reset and self test- will clear the CEL for you
If that doesnt work, you can disconnect the Battery NEG for a minute
That does the same thing BUT makes you reload the seat and radio memories
the clock fuse method doesnt change anything else!

if you got a CEL after foaming it just means not hot foot enough drive and stuff got on the O2 as it was leaving, but cooled on the sensor instead
Take it for another drive and it will clear

1st timers to seafoam should repeat in 1 month /1500 miles
that gets whatever you missed and makes it ready for a years fun

Thanks alot for all the advice. The engine light went away yesterday so I was thinking I didnt drive it enough to burn all that crap out.
