I know the community is torn on Seafoam being good or bad. However I plan to try it since the car just hit 87k miles and is due for an oil change. The throttle has been sluggish latey and I have a bottle... so why not.

Gonna catch a video of the smoke :p

1/3 in the Gas
1/3 in the Oil
1/3 In the Brake Booster

I did it to mine about a month ago. I noticed it preformed a bit better but not till I changed the oil.

I went ahead and did it. It did not smoke as much as I expected. Gonna change the oil this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

Did you rev the pis out of it? Mine did not smoke until I got it above 3500RPMS. After that it smoked like a freight train.

If you follow the instructions. It CAN help alot. You'll have to rev it up high if you want to smoke out the neighborhood.


I try to get away from residencial areas when I do it.

my 96's intake was spotless after my seafoam at 100k miles. smoked for 4 blocks of thick white. even the plenum was spotless. my f150 with a 5.0 picked up 1 mpg and a lot more throttle response too. it was seafoamed at 180k and runs like a raped ape still.

Probably because you put it in the brake booster. DO NOT use the brake booster line because it only feeds to one of the intake ports, not all 12. I did it to my brake booster and when i took my manifold off to put my windstar on, only the one was clean (very clean) and the other ones were still carboned up.

Use the PCV. Pull the PCV out of the valve cover and suck up the seafoam right through the actual PCV valve. It will then reach all ports.

You might be a lil different cause your a single port, but on 99-04's, its the only one, located on the driver side valve cover, and has a vac line that runs up to the manifold right after the TB.

If you have a pressurized sprayer (cant think of name) and put the seafoam in it and connect that into the intake after the MAF and run it that way for a few minutes it helps a lot more than just a vacuum tube. I smoked the hell out of the shop/street.

I use it every other oil change just keep it tip top for shits and grins. Though even since just my usage of it for 2 years it has gone up roughly $3-4 in price
