Track > 1/4 Mile

Cleans out the engine & intake manifold, basically anywhere where gas goes in the engine. Carbon can build up in the engine over time. A lot of build up will hurt performance, kinda like clogging up an artery. The Seafoam helps to break all that crap up.

Yeah what C586 said. Damn Chris you should know better lol. Also a good idea to purchase a catch can so it can prevent this after the cleaning if one isn't already installed. I spray my IM every oil change with just 3 small sprays. But this is what your trying to clean up and prevent.

Good write-up, but I thought you were supposed to pass it through the throttle body with the engine on and idling at ~1500 RPM?

"C586" is right on also. You can even spray it in through the PCV elbow if you like also. The orignal Seafoam guidelines have been around for awhile. And don't think they have been revised to reflect these new engines as their are so many now. Basically if you can find the booster hose or any vacuum inlet your golden.

Good DIY Can't_C_Me!
Damn, I really did not want to do this... but now that I had seen the step-by-step, and knowing I have put 24,000 miles on the car w/o a catch-can, I'm thinking I'll need to just do it. I was hoping that the miles I have on my car wouldnt be enough to warrant this..
