after seafoam help

86gter · May 28th, 2008, 12:02 PM

so i decided to seafoam my 86 5.0 a week ago. it was sunday and it ran good until wed. i did it through the booster vaccum line and in the gas tank 1/3 can each, now randomly when warm or restarted after driving it chokes up and pops, sometimes seems like a 4 cyl. but if i jump on it it goes pretty good.

what may of happened, any ideas

my other post

changed my plugs after seafoaming and running rough. i noticed something when i looked down. that a new exhaust leak that i heard starting yesterday was actually my 02 sensor laying on a bracket under the cat. i guess it started breaking off yesterday then all the way today.

will this cause the car to run crappy?

hopefully when i fix it the car will run better.

HELP

my car is as stock as can be for now except for the catback exhaust.

now i was wondering where the hell that 02 sensor goes on the drivers side of car?

ujslost · May 29th, 2008, 02:59 PM

goes in the exhaust. I think its before the cats on your car. if you have cats. if not it will be in the exhaust pipe just after the manifold or header

DrHoward · May 29th, 2008, 03:27 PM

ya it goes in your mid pipe.....at least thats where it is on my 94, maybe the foxes are different?

86gter · May 29th, 2008, 07:01 PM

well i guess i gotta take it somewhere to be fixed, the sensor basically rusted off right at the threads and i cant get a bite on it to get it out.

DAMN!!!

DrHoward · May 29th, 2008, 07:03 PM

try pulling off your mid pipe, you might be able to get at it a little better then, also if you do need to take it to a shop you won't get charged to have it pulled off and re-installed

took it to my friends at meineke and they had to cut a section of the exhaust out cause there was no way the broken rusty stub was coming out. now it runs like a champ.

thanks for the input guys
