Big engine problem

CheyenneMustang · July 31st, 2011, 05:57 PM

Seafoamed my car and all seemed to be going great, smooth running while revving. I added a little to the crankcase and the rest to the fuel tank and took it for a quick drive. As soon as I started it again, it was sputtering hard and running rough. Drove it for a little hoping it was just some seafoam still lingering in the system. No luck, still running like shit. Any suggestions?

could be a shit ton of buildup getting broken down in the crankcase....change the oil sooner then later...

unless you can take a vid of the car at idle and reving theres not much more i can say

Edit: this is after the oil change. The knocking is just exhaust rattle

hmmm change the oil and see how that goes

I would start by putting some WD40 on those door hinges

But I'm with 6er, there's probably a lot of shit getting broken down so changing your oil pretty soon would be a goo idea.

Edited the post, that's after the oil change

Sorry guys, I've used wd-40 several tomes but its a persistent son of a bitch.

Any other ideas since the oil change didn't work?

is it a mis when you're driving? may of fouled a plug...too much seafoam can be a bad thing on our plugs

I just checked the plugs after reading a few posts saying that. My plugs look alright but 3 of them were loose. How can you tell ifthe plugs are fouled?
