Very quick seafoam ? (not how good it is type of ?)

Ok I have 1 bottle of Deep Creep and 1 bottle of the regular Sea Foam, if I spray the DC into the TB and put the regular in my gas tank will that treat my entire engine or do I need to get another can of the regular to pour through the boost line to completely clean it? *This is other than the oil system, I just read a thread about that Auto-Rx and really like what I saw so I plan on using it.

No, DC through the TB won't clean it like the Carbon Cleaner through a vacuum hose will. The latter will get to your piston tops/rings area, as well as the intake ports.

I'd add that step too.

Which hose? I'm not too up to speed on hoses, sorry. There are 2 though right? The PCV or Brake Boost I think, cant remember what I read on the seafoam website.

You may be talking about my page that details how to use it.

Anyway, yes, you can use the brake booster hose on the pass. side of the intake, or the middle black hose on the driver's side of the TB (the latter will probably be more efficient).

Warning: your O2 sensors and/or spark plugs may get moderately dirtier if this is the first time you've cleaned your intake manifold and/or throttle body. You may wish to do this for the first time right before you install new ones.


Dang, I just had my plugs replaced. Will a 2nd treatment maybe clean them off again, or should I just remove and clean them after doing this?

Also, I dont really have a place to "sprint around" since the cops around here are terrible. Can I just rev it high while in P or N for awhile (5-10 min) and then do 1 or 2 0-60 quick sprints? Or maybe just accellorate very quickly to regular speedlimit (45-60 for my drive to work) from stoplights? I live in APT's that have speedbumps every 2 ft is seems like so I cant drive around my neighborhood quickly.

Yep, that's from my web page.

I can't tell you for sure on the spark plugs. Just passing along a warning from others. I've never had them fouled.

Since you're not using it in the oil, having a high load on the engine isn't as important... but, if you can get somewhere where you can floor it in 2nd gear from like 15-20mph to 40 or so, that'd be good. Do that a few times, then one or two 1st gear WOT starts, and then cruise, and you should have blown most of it out.
