Enjoy the smoke show, and see if it fixes your putput problem.

No. Seafoam should never go in your throttle body, very high risk of hydro locking it and it damages sensors. Seafoam Deep Creep is even iffy. Vac Line can foul your plugs and o2 sensors, and gas tank can clog your fuel filter on a semi older vehicle.

And how will putting seafoam into the induction process clean your fuel system? Stumped?

And all this hype about it cleaning the cylinders and rings a yadda yadda, If you put seafoam in your gas tank, it will not go past the piston rings because it gets burned up in the combustion cycle before it can reach the oil pan.

ALSO seafoam has NO injector cleaning agents. Chevron techron, BG44K and Shell Additives do.

We gave it a try on a few test cars, only one that saw cleaning benefits was the valves on a 93 ram that had some major carbon deposits, but even then the cleaning was minimal even with a micrometer.

Seafoam=Hype.

To the op have you replaced the boots on your coil pack you should ,because if they are bad they can cause a weak spark. Also Seafoam is fine to use Diesal has no clue AGAIN.
