Engine seafoam experience

well i read an article on imp[ort tuner saying you really don;t need to clean your injectors at all, that "Seafoam" or other detergents that are suppose to clean your injectors is a bunch of crap. usually gas stations already add cleaners to their gas, becuase it cuts the price down

Good luck on that man. I just did it with a lot more, I filled up a plastic cup and just let it suck it up slowly. I got some white smoke this time, not too much though. Havn't driven it yet to find out if it worked. My engines not in bad shape to start with so who knows if I'll feel a difference.

I don't think Arco adds anything so I'll stick w/ the cleaners

I just purchased a can of this Seafoam stuff. I'm going run it though tomorrow. I let you guys know how it goes.

just ran some thru a 1991 camry. got a little greedy with it and stalled the engine while pouring it in. waited the five minutes, it was hesitant to start but it turned over, and white smoke poured out the tail pipe as expected, wasn't to bad. Cant say i notice any increase in power, but idle did seem smoother. And white smoke came out while driving it.

is it worth it? hmmm depends on the car i suppose.

Arco is shit

It's Gas!

Well I did it... it actually sucked down 1/2 a bottle! Didn't know how quick it went. It didn't want to start, but did with a little throttle.... big cloud of smoke.. I took audio of the idle before and after... definatley noticeably less nocking, smoother more consistent idle, less hesitation. Did what it said on the bottle.
Now I can sell this piece!

Cool!

I'm sure most of you don't really want to see, but I figured what the hell, someone might...

You can see my vaccume line and PCV are disconnected and pushed to the side. I found some aquarium tubing that fit over the nipple and used that to draw the seafoam.

fuel injector basically will do the same thing that this seafoam does.
yes the "check engine" light will come on for some cars after you do this. all you do is disconnect battery, wait a minute or so and connect again.
