well like alot of people on here i was having problems with bogging below 3k rpms and a loss of power from idle to 5500 rpms. today i finally got to napa and bought some seafoam and a new O2 sensor. i ran the seafoam through my engine (neighbors were laughing like hell at the smoke!), installed my ngk iridium plugs, pdm aurora 8.5mm wires, oem cap&rotor, and changed my O2 sensor. the car is a beast again! it pulls hard and fast from idle to redline, there isn't even a hint of bogging or hesitation, i'm not running rich anymore, and all the power loss i had is totally gone. if anyone was having problems like the ones i just stated then do everything that i just stated you'll be down right astonished at the results.

Where did you run the seafom through. I used it in the motor oil and it fixed my idle problem, it would almost stall under heavy braking while turning. I am curious as to how to use it other than i9n oil and fuel

hmm, on another thread, can ATF work just as well? i gotta do a search n see if any replies were there...

highly recommended to change or clean the plugs/o2 sensor... & an oil change after that.

Do a search. This has been discussed in much detail several times recently.
