Dont waste your time with Seafoam. Its a half assed product. Goto GM Dealer and get a bottle of the Top End Cleaner. Now that is a good product! WAY more potent that Seafoam. Works the exact same.
Just buy some cheap Autolite copper plugs at walmart. Install, use the Top End Cleaner, then put on a few miles (few hundred). Replace with good plugs and enjoy.
Also 40 PSI on your tires? Seriously? In the Alero are you not only supposed to have like 28 PSI? When you over inflate you loose traction and also wear the middle part of the tire faster...

I agree for the most part with him here. Only difference, if you read the SI doc about the top end cleaner you'll see that it is to be mixed with gas and fed to the fuel rail with a pressure canister. The same way a "proper" injector cleaning is done. The top end cleaner bottle has a section to the top of it that will allow you to make precise measurement of the cleaner in a ratio to fuel for best results. Do this twice, then replace the plugs. If I remember, the bottle has the ratio required in the directions on the back of it.
GM also has a "Ring Cleaner" available that is poured directly into each plug hole and has to sit for somethin like 4 hours before starting, then shutting down and changing the oil. The product can also be used to make an attempt at getting a locked or siezed motor to fire up! Just an FYI
