To seafoam or not

PaintedBlack · February 10th, 2009, 08:53 AM

So I'm getting ready for a major tune up, have 114k miles on the stang and was interested in your opinions on this type of cleaning. I've changed my oil every 3-3.5k miles and put fuel system cleaner in, about every ten months. the reason I'm even considering this is because every so often the car will drop to about 500 rpm, stutter , then go back to normal, and then other times stall completely. so i hope this treatment will fix that, unless you guys think its a whole other issue all together

More details? It does this at idle or driving at a certain rpm?

I think a full tune up is never a waste of money, even if it doesn't solve the issue it should be done anyways. Do the normal; plugs, air filter, fuel filter. Look over for a loose electrical connection somewhere also might be coming loose and stalling the motor.. And yeah seafoam is always a good idea. Stuff works awesome.

seafoam worked wonders on my old ZJ Jeep. Was havin major stuttering problems and acted like it would randomly die while driving. We threw some seafoam in it, smoked like a chimney for 20 min, than ran like it was brand new. Never had a problem since. I was convinced. Saved me takin it in to the shop.
