I just finished using sea foam from a guy that specialize in carboration cleaning for over 20yrs

He said that using too much sea foam could be bad for the car.one bottle for the whole car is enough.

1/3 in the vaccum 1/3,in the engine oil, and 1/3 in the gas tank.

For the vaccum ( he use the small metal tube that sticks out on the front left side of the eccs "big metall thing", if you start to trace from the intake filter all the way through plastic or metal tube of the intake you will find it .

HE also used an old school iv bag, the ones that hospitals use for transferring blood, to distribute the seafoam . so that it will go in slowly making the seafoam work better.

Then after that we left it alone for 10-15 min. to let the sea foam work it. After that my s13 felt like a completely new car it has major torque.

im not sure what your talking about, but he just took the tube out from the eccs valve that's located on the front left side of the eccs.

Hope this helps

I don't see how too much Seafoam could be bad for your car, as long as you do it like it says on the bottle.

It won't be. Someone doesn't know what they're talking about.

The only way seafoam could be bad for your car would be by thinning the oil out too much, which is why when you put seafoam in your oil, you don't drive it. You turn it on, let it sit and idle for 15 minutes, come back and change the oil.
