yea id like to know, ive got a 5 speed too. Im worried about my fuel system, im a poor highschool boy and i run my shi% on empty 24/7 so if i whip it around corners while low on gas it bucks like crazy, i think im slowly putting myself into an expensive fuel injection system replacement haha

I'm guessing the difference was a positive one? I use the stuff about once a month, and I do notice a little pickup when I accelerate and such. As soon as I get my 4.0 TB I'll have an excuse to tear off my air intake hose and dump some Seafoam down its throat. Had the can for a year, just haven't used it yet.

I used seam foam was and highly disappointed. I was expecting a huge cloud of smoke and I only got a little one. Oh well, I guess that's a good thing it does seem to idle better now.

I have used it but not too sucessfully. I am not too impressed with it as an intake cleaner. Does look like i killed some mosquitos though.

It shouldn't be harming your injectors unless you put too much in too fast?

I've always used seafoam in the intake, very slow drip until it's about to stall then i let off. I didn't get this BIG cloud of smoke like some say cuz my system's not that dirty.

I did this to my daughters '92 when I bought it and it was more of a steam cloud than real smoke. I couldn't see where it did anything. I did just what you did. I put it in slowly until the engine soundeed like it was gonna die, then back off and let it catch it's breath, then begin again. Took about 20-30 minutes to get the whole bottle consumed. I still had to take it all apart to really get it cleaned. The TB was still nasty and there was crud in the intake too. If I have to disassemble it anyway whats the point?
