Just Sea Foamed car...No smoke!!

I was already to smoke out the neighborhood next to me but no smoke . I let the car warm up, put 1/2 can in through the middle L-shaped tube on pass. side of throttle body (had to turn off car b/c it wouldn't die), then put other 1/2 can in oil. While I was waiting 15 minutes I sprayed deep creep in the throttle body. When I started the car (took a couple of tries), a lot of blue smoke came out, then it cleared right up. Ran the hell out of the car for 20 minutes...Never smoked. My car has 80k miles on it...can't imagine it's that clean!!!

you might want to check your o2 sensors on a side note
supposedly sea foam kills them somehow after you do it, not that that has any bearing on no smoke
also, you should be putting it in your oil about 500 miles before you change it
that way it can get all the crap out and be sitting in the oil pan waiting for you to change it

but really, i havent seen too many cases of no smoke
what's blue smoke again? i know white is oil burning and black is unburnt fuel...

Actually, blue smoke is oil burning, white is coolant, and black is a rich condition.

yea, the smoke was definately blue...never saw white. Kind of strange when I started the car--heard a bunch of popping noises coming from the cat. I checked and it appears the exhaust is flowing normal. Car is running fine, I just expected a lot more smoke. Perhaps it didn't smoke much because I was unable to flood/stall the car??

if you put it in the L shaped tube on the TB or the valve cover then i think you jsut put more into your oil THat is part of the pcv system. You need to put it in on the brake booster line.
