I'm doing seafoam, need help quick

The directions say:

seafoam deep creep is to be sprayed inside your throttle body. disconnect your hose running to the throttle body so your throttle body blade is showing.


My question, i dont want to do it wrong. Can someone show me a picture of this hose so i dont **** up my car please I think i'm about to do the wrong thing

Thx,

It's not really a hose. You take off the intake elbow. It's the big thing in front of the throttle body.

Good luck!

And if you want the engine to run with the intake elbow and MAF not connected to the throttle body, unplug the MAF sensor so the PCM defaults to speed-density mode.

Shoebox has what you need:

The part with the "G" on it ("G" is the IAT sensor, but its pushed into the intake elbow) will be what you remove. Part "N" is the MAF sensor that you need to unplug.

Why do you feel you need to "Seafoam" the engine"?

Because i believe in fairy tales

I dont know, the writeup on this link kind of convinced me to give it a shot.

did it on my dads explorer, a few weeks later and got o2 codes. Coincidence? I have no idea, but I will not do it again.

I'm guessing the carbon that you broke up went out the exhaust and screwed up your O2's

Did my seafoam. Lots of smoke & fun. Car is running better. Smoother idle, better throttle response on top end. Didnt fix my miss so still some more work to be done. Time to start another "help me fix it" thread
