Today, after reading the 7 pages of posts on "seafoam," I tried the Seafoam engine cleaner. I did everything as instructed:
1) sucked the can in through the BOV->intake vacuum hose while holding 2500 RPMs
2) turned car off and let car sit for 15 minutes
3) turned car on and drove it around
4) changed the oil as it was due for 5000 mile change
Here are the results I got:
-CEL came during step 1 above (CEL has since come off with the next crank up)
-some, as in just enough to notice, smoke came out the back during step 1
-car seemed to drive with same performance before Seafoam was added
So, basically, nothing really happened. The wild and crazy results were not seen and the infamous huge smoke cloud that signifies all the carbon buildup being expelled was not witnessed. So what is so great about this stuff?! I need someone to tell me what I did wrong or that this stuff really isn't that effective.
Just FYI, here are the car's stats:
-98 Eclipse GST, basically stock
-95700 miles on the odometer
-operation performed in 40 degree weather
Let me know!?
