so i did the half through the brake booster and now im just waiting for 10 min or so before i go and start her up again and as it states on the seafoam homepage "drive aggressively, but not illegally." And the next time i fill up my tank ill pour it in the tank

so after running it through i havent noticed any drastic changes to throttle response or power, however my brakes seem to be a little more responsive (idk how maybe its just my imagination since nothing in the brake lines them selves were affected) and in the next week or so ill see if my MPG changed at all (hopefully for the better if it does change because 13 MPG on a STOCK ride sucks)

Hey I don't know of you've done your SF yet but don't use it it's gonna blow your jeep up
j/k.
In all honesty though use the link on my signature to he all theses foam answers you need. I used deep creep on my TB. It def smooth idle out afterwards on both my jeep and the altima

So my idle had smoothed out considerably (I didn't realize how erratic it was until it was gone) and I've noticed (maybe its just wishful fantasies) a moderate power increase. No obvious change in mpg though.

So after 5 months my idle is still good and my mpg has increased slightly. Also there seems to have been a slight power increase (or restore) all in all I'm satisfied with the results still after 5 months.

Was your cherokee running fine before you put the foam in or was it running bad and that prompted you to do it?
cause mines running fine but I still want to put a can in the tank, it cant hurt right?
TB is a little more helpful than a vac line. The way I do it is through the IAC so it clean that out as well as the TB, intake, and engine.
