i think i screwed my engine with seafoam
i think i screwed my engine with seafoam
so mixed the cleaner with 50/50 water and sprayed it into the intake
car ran fine
then put the straight cleaner into the vacume hose going to the back of the intake. the car stalls and i wait a half hour
so i come back and the car runs like hell. so i figure 1/2 the splugs are fouled. i change thme and they were all fine. car still runs like hell. it shakes its loud its smoking from the passnger side valve cover area
what the hell is wrong?

Did you put the break booster vacuum line back on?
I wouldn't put that stuff in my car ever, if I wanted to clean it out I would spary a can of carb/tb cleaner in there.

Re: i think i screwed my engine with seafoam
all you can do is keep running it and see if it clears up. Sounds to me like you dumped too much and could have hydrolocked a cylender and possibly bent some pushrods/valves. it's not reall ment to be dumped in, it's ment to be atomized using a special kit that we use at shops.

so i took the new plugs out and looks like only 3 of them were firing as they were clean and wet 1,2 and 5. all the other 3 were slightly blackened.
so with the plugs and wires out of the way i turned the motor over to see if i cant dry out anything left in the cylinders. it turns over really smooth with only a whirr and a tick from the spark. im going to leave the plugs out for a fw hours.
