And now kids, a little Seafoam 101. This is t e second time I've done this, first being on my Blazer.

I used it thru the intake, to help decarbonize the pistons & what not. Please read the directoions first.

Step 1, get the SeaFoam

Step 2, find a port vacuum source. I used this tube of the cannister by the brake booster

That led to the "T" adapter on the back of the upper intake manifold

I started the motor, let it warn up, then disconnected the hose & put in the SeaFoam can. I let it suck out about 1/3 of it.

The engine will most likely stumble but that is ok. When done sucking, turn motor off & let sit at least 10 min. When you start it up, you will start to see this:

THis is just the start. IT will spew thicker for about 10~15 mins while it cleans. I reccomend not driving the vehicle around when doing this unless you have neighbors you want to piss off ;-)
