Sea Foam Question

I just ordered 2 cans, one for my truck and one for my car. i was wondering if someone can post a pic of the location i need to use inside the engine compartment. Also give me a little direction on how to use it or even the steps.

Thanks

It says right on the can where you can all use it, and tells instructions on how to use it. But you can put the stuff almost anywhere a petroleum based product is used, you can dump some in your gas, in a carburator, in your oil pan, but again it says how and where to use it on the can...

I just used some on my ecotec, personally i put some in the crankcase (where you add oil). I took off the black cover to the throttle body, and put some in the throttle body. And I also put some in the vaccum line that connects to the black cover to the throttle body. Make sure you let it all burn out before you start to drive your car, there will be lots of white smoke.

I can't say I noticed any specific results other than the white smoke. My car does run better, but I also changed the plugs to Denso Iridium, put in synthetic oil, added a K&N filter, changed the fuel filter, and flushed the coolant all in the same day. My car idles smoother, and picks up a little bit better, but i don't attribute that to seafoam.

Ryan from Ohio will become famous soon enough
When I did mine I pulled the tube out of the accordion intake deal.

I took one of the long skinny funnels and was able to get the tip of it right @ the TB. I reved it to where it should be, stuffed a screw driver in to pin it @ idle. Poured her in like directed. I wasnt able to stall the engine but damn near.

If you didnt have any white smoke, none was on the valves when you shut it down. Try again.

Also, I would recommends the GM Top End cleaner over the seafoam. It seems to make a bigger smoke show and smell worse, so it leads me to think its doing a better job.

you can just take that throttle body cover off easy enough, there's just a screw clamp holding it on
