Seafoamed the TC

Smoked a lot :D

Also got a bunch of smoke out by exhaust manifold, which tells me it is leaking!

That was one of the first things I ever did to my car. 150k on the engine, so much smoke came out of the car. I thought I had done something terrible to my car, but after it all cleared, she idled a lot better. Throttle response was much better as well.

I gotta drive in a bit, so will see how it runs. I hook a hose to the intake vacuum port. You are supposed to stall car after sucking up the seafoam, there was so much vacuum, it would not stall :giggle:

When I helped my friend do it on his '00 Mustang, it pulled enough vacuum to crush the can.

This might sound like a dumb ? But I really don't know. Is there a write up or how to on how to do this correctly. I have never done it before and don't wanna screw it up.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

If you have a sideways TB, you got to pull off a vacuum line and suck it in that way, otherwise dump in the top of a regular TB.

  Suck at least half the can in, you may have to rev it a little because it will want to stall.

 Once the amount you want is in (i use half a can) let it stall or shut it off

Let it sit for 5-10 min, then start the engine and watch it smoke like a diesel, I like to take the car out immediately throw it in second and run it to about 65-70mph WOT a few times on the highway

Then try to figure out if engine is still running as it will idle rather quietly (if it was badly carboned up before)

I am going to do an experiment with the stuff some time in the next 2 weeks. I am going to see if this stuff is really any good with a HALF BAKED EXPERIMENT. I am not a lab so i have to test this stuff the best way i can figure out. So i have an engine with a clogged passage in the carb. I already know this from testing the engine. So i am going to use this chemical and see if it nu-clogs the passage. Just a little experiment. As you can see i am a skeptic on things like this. But one never knows. God only knows i have judged things wrong before. Thanks

Without putting any thought into this response, I'd have to wonder if Sea Foam is more of a carbon remover than a carb cleaner. Take a little and put it in a safe bowl, and soak a small part in it and see what happens.

I think you are correct VINNIE. But their add claims it can help with clogged injectors. So why not a CARB. Just saying. I will be open minded about the stuff. Been hearing so much about it. Normally i dont believe in POTIONS!!!! Just me Thanks

Tom, are you going to put it in the fuel tank or dump it in the carb?


I think it would be interesting if someone had a camera/scope to look in the comb. chambers before and after, for decarboning.
