I've been pondering this for a bit and since I have a spare can of Seafoam, I figured... why not?

>>My question is HOW, on WHAT, and WHERE do I use this can?

Please be descriptive and use small words ROFL

Please use pics if possible or external links to describe the process :heystupid:
 
Follow the directions on the can. I think its 1/3 in the gas tank, 1/3 in the oil and 1/3 sucked through a vaccum line(I use the bov line). Dip the vaccum hose in a little at a time and then submerge the line choking out the car. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes, fire it up and enjoy your smoke show. LOTS so try and do it where nobody will care. You should change your oil after do too it getting contaminated and maybe your plugs as well.
 
Why use the bov line and only clean the intake manifold?

I would personally use 1 line on the throttle body on the top. and 1 of the egr lines....that egr gets nasty......
 
Yup.

Here's the PROPER way to do it.

1/3 can through the top nipple on the TB (Keep rpm's around 2K until you get that much, then let off the throttle and let the car die.)
1 cap full in each cylinder (spark plugs out, pour in cap, tighten plugs back in)
1/3 in oil
Remaining in fuel.

In that order.

Let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Then fire it up and go. And I mean GO. Drive the piss out of that car until it stops smoking. Once it stops, get it home, change oil, filter, and plugs, and enjoy your like-new car.
