Nebor Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hrmm... I sucked in a can, but didn't think to turn the car off immediately. I turned it off like 1 or 2 minutes after it finished sucking. Then I let it sit for about 7 minutes, and started it up. Nothing unusual happened. No smoke, nothin.

ragtopcuda Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Put about 2/3 of a can in via the vacuum tree. Let it sit for 20 mins. Fired up and had billowing smoke for about 20 minutes. I didn't notice a huge difference in the way it was running, but it wasn't running that badly before. Will advise as to any noticeable improvements. I do have a pinging problem at low RPM under load. If that goes away it will be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwebb Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Bump.I need a picture! ...pretty please? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebor Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Problem is: I know nothing about cars. I do not know where the vacuum tree is, nor do I know what size tubing I should use. A picture would be nice ←You should use 6mm, or 7/32" vacuum tubing. When you remove your throttle body cover, there will be a little tower sticking up with about 3 nubs coming off each side. They'll have little rubber caps over the ends. That's your vacuum tree. Take off a cap and you're set.by the way, I noticed that the only thing connected to my vacuum tree was my purge valve.... is that usual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleV Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Okay, Jim (Rooooney) was kind enough to send over a couple pics of how to do the seafoam on the 850s. Here they are and his description. Thanks alot!Picture one- The screw driver is in the screw that needs to be removed. after removing the screw pull off the TB cover.Picture two- this small tree shaped thing is located under that cover. Remove one of these black nubs and attach a hose. Suck in 1/3 of a can through and remember to shut off the engine before you suck up all the liquid. If you do not you will trip your engine light.Full sized pictures:http://i.snapandshare.com/22/6112/128667o.jpghttp://i.snapandshare.com/22/6112/128668o.jpgThanks agin Jim for the excelent pictures and write up, I'll hopefully be doing this on my best friend's '97 GLT soon. I'm sure alot of the other guys here will find this very benificial too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kashif Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Here a picture of my car after 1 hour of 1/3 of a can of seafoam in the intake manifold and 2/3 of a can in the crankcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
