Ok well i am posting this here because u guys respond quicker and i need help like yesterday. Ok well i had been reading all the Seafoam things here and i was like hey if its good enough for a GT its good enough for me so i tried it on my 6 feeding it through the Brake boster line. I followed all instructions and fed it little by little and then like let the car shut itself off. Let it sit for 15 minutes then drove it around and it smoked and was fine stopped after a few minutes. And i noticed it running a lot better. Ok well here is where my problem starts i figured if it worked great for my 6 that i keep maintained always using synthetic oil and using injector cleaners and crap then it should do miracles on my mothers 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 4.0 liter I6 which is not nearly as maintained as mine. I did the same thing, fed it through the B/B line and then when i went to feed enough through so the engine shuts itself off, the car started to idle real low, and sound like old V8's before they shut off, then started pouring smoke through the engine under the intake manifold and i hooked up the line to the Brake boster quick and shut off the car, when i took the keys the engine started to diesel and was still like trying to shut off but wouldnt and the keys werent even in it, and i waiting like finally 3-5 secs after the keys where out it shut off. I am afraid to start it now, do you think i did some serious damage? Or is this normal, because my car did not do this but did it do this for any of you guys?
 
Just shows how much carbon and crap was in there lol...although its runnning off of predetination, the RPMs are low and there is no gas going in. Shouldnt do any damage. I think I need to do that to mine...although I doubt there is any carbon buildup :D.
 
My friend's 97 Altima did the EXACT same thing. Just means that some of the gasket must be leaking in the engine bay if you saw smoke there lol. We started his car up and it smoked like crazy and runs ALOT better now. Go start the Jeep up and enjoy the smoke show
 
Well guys thank you very much. It was just fine, smoked for a while, i felt bad for the guy behind me. I guess just goes to show how much crap was in there, and im sure it could still use another treatment, The cars got just about 220,000 miles on it and its only a 96 needless to say my mother drives the **** out of it. But seeing what her car did made me feel very good about how much care i take of my car. I did not get anything near close to what my mothers car did and it didnt smoke for near as long, just about 40 seconds of driving. But her car is running smoother. I plan on doing another treatment to hers and mines though hers needs it more. :D
