Running seafoam or any induction cleaner throiugh the brake line will really not do alot for the intake as a whole, especially the IACV. You need to run a bit of it through the 1 inch diameter hose coming off you intake tube by the radiator. The hose runs under the intake manifold and feeds your idle contol valves. The hose is located right next to the smaller 1/2 inch hose. The car will run pretty crappey with that hose not connected so you can put some in the hose hook it back up and fire it up,let it clear out from the hose and repeat the process a few times. If seafoam isnt availale you can also use carb clean and do it the same way. Another trick that works is to place a small metal tube or durable straw along the nipple of the intake tube and slide the hose over both of them. and TRICKLE a little water in there while its running. do not allow the water to run in there as a steady stream it will just kill the spark in the cyl but a fine mist of water being fed in works real well to clean carbon deposits in the intake chambers. The reason its not more widly used is the control factor , to much and you have a problem keeping the car running.
