Seafoam?

PlainOldOlds · 01-09-2012, 01:58 PM

She's running like crap, and I think I want to try seafoam. Where exactly do I put it (2.4), anyone got a pic? I'm afraid I'll screw it up.

Right in the oil! You can also put it in the coolant just read the bottle it will tell you

pull the vac line on the brake booster with the car running then run seafoam through that line (slowly or the car will stall) then stall the car or shut it off and wait 15-30 mins, start it up and drive it around until the smoke clears..

I don't think petroleum based products mix well with coolant. Sounds like a very bad idea. Crankcase, gas tank and vacuum lines are the only places that seafoam are intended for.

Assume I don't know where that is... (because I don't)

So am I trying to pull the hose off or the whole 90 degree plastic piece it's clamped on to?

just put pliers on the clamp and move the clamp down the hose. and then pour the seafoam (recommended amount) into a cup. then use the cup and hose.
you can also put some in your gas tank
and if you put some in your oil then you haveta change your oil within a 100 miles or so

this thing, its on your firewall, drivers side. you shouldn't need any tools to get the hose off, its not to difficult to remove it.

Mine's not a Chrysler.

But yeah, I get it. But my hose has a clamp on it, and the linked how-to says don't remove the hose clamp, pull the piece out of the grommet. That's what confused me. I would think pulling the hose off is the safest way.

Use the vacuum off the fuel pressure regulator.

Yes. For effs sake if the brake vacuum hose it too hard to get off use the fuel pressure regulator line it works just as well.

PlainOldOlds · 01-10-2012, 11:39 AM

I'm sure I can get the hose off I just wanted to know the best/easiest place before I tried anything because I've got a habit of breaking things.

Thanks everyone, I'll let you know how it goes.
