Exclamation im taking the SEAFOAM challenge

ive seen a few threads of people asking about it and what not... so i figure why not start a thread with results and maybe pics/vids of the aftermath lol..

ill start, since i am currently letting it sit i wont be able to post up my results right away, but in case someone else sees this in the mean time and they have done it then post up how it went for u... im going to attempt to take a vid or pic with my phone and ill post up how it goes when im done... peaces lol

idk honestly.. anything that either shows smoke or any kind of results... i just hit the vac and gas tank too... idk if i did something wrong or if the motor was really that clean.. i did about 1/3 in the vac and the rest in the tank... let it sit for about 10 minutes and when i started it up.. there was a LITTLE bit of smoke but no huuuge clouds or anything... i then went for a drive around the block, jsut to see if it needed to be under a load to kick it out and nothing... so idk.. guess ill find out later next time i start the car haha

Before I seafoamed my car it used to stall often even in neutral and if you would press on the gas the rpms would just fall instead of raise. I seafoamed it with a whole bottle mixed in the gas (while filling it all the way up), 1/2 bottle in the vac line and 1/2 bottle in the crank case (change the oil within 500 miles with seafoam in it). After seafoaming I haven't had the stalling problems or anything and the car ran noticeably smoother. This was about 3 weeks ago.
