PeejConk Newbie Join Date: Oct 2007 Posts: 26	So I Seafoamed The Mustang and i dont know what to say about it. i did everything that i was supposed to and barely any smoke came out. so i was like whatever maybe it worked so i drove it around for the rest of the day and it was fine. kinda felt diffeent but im not sure if i was just thinking it was different. but anyway i started noticing that it was driving weird it was idling so rough and jumpy and when i would hit the gas it kinda stuttered. than i went into a 7/11 and left my car running and once i came back out i notced the mil was on. so i was like bugging out and didnt drive it for the rest of the day. this morning i started it up and it was doing the same thing so today i scanned it and it turned out to be cylinder 6 misfire. im not sure if this is a result of the seafoam or just a coincidence. so today im gonna change my oil and put new plugs and wires on. so i was just wondering if anyone else ever got this problem when they seafoamed or maybe i did it wrong. let me know what you think __________________ STANGER BANGER

my brothers jetta did a similar thing, but we concluded that we didn't use the seafoam the right way, so we are going to try it again next time he has an oil change due

Probably the sea foam loosened up some carbon in #6 cylinder and that fouled the plug. The back two cylinders on each side carbon up pretty badly on this engine. The Ford parts person told me that Ford has a carbon removing product that works well.
