Few things to note. Fuel injection goes back to before 96.

I know that, but since I mainly know Mustangs, I just wrote the article for Mustangs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most, if not all, engines used before 96 were carbed.

I added 5 or so pictures of the results, and I'll throw in pictures of the PCV on a GT engine (both PI and non-PI), and the brake booster location on a 5.0 if someone wants to provide it. Also need a picture of the location on a 3.8 if anyone wants to send me one for that as well.

I understand.
BUT, it's best we keep all of the seafoam content in one place.

tried seafoam in the line from the pcv valve to the intake... car died, and wouldnt rev or hold idle.

wasted a bit of it but theres still more in the can....
Will it be better if i just stuck the line into the can and started the car?

Alright guys...this is the first video I've ever made, so please excuse the crappiness of it. Below are 2 videos, first is the how-to feed your engine seafoam, and the 2nd is a small glimpse of what the smoke looks like. I didn't get much smoke since I did this only about 2,000 or 3,000 miles ago, but you will get smoke for about 10 minutes.

How To Feed Your Engine Seafoam
Seafoam Smoke Results

1fast03pony, just do it the way he does in the video. I wouldn't start the car with the hose in the can, might suck up too much at once.

I just put some in the intake and oil today, and didn't get much smoke at all on an engine with 41,000 miles. I think the car feels a bit more responsive though

I Seafoamed my 4x4 with 155k on it today. Didnt get the whole yard smoked out, but I didnt use that much... I filled up a spray paint can lid with Seafoam one and a half times basically. Started it up and not a bit of smoke. I wasnt impressed, haha. Then I revved it up real quick and noticed it was alot smoother, and that there was a nice cloud of smoke coming from the exhaust. I just got one big cloud of smoke, and some haze coming out for another minute or two. Either my driving habits kept that thing clean, or I didnt put enough in. Im willing to try it on the Stang soon though.

DeathMetal · Jun 1, 2006

Used exactly half a can in mine, which was suggested in this thread. I guess my engine was just pretty clean to begin with?

am I the only one that wonders if a glass of water would do the same thing?

I triple dog dare you to try it!

Probbly not. If you suck in too much water, there go your connecting rods. If you let seafoam sit in the engine before it all gets burned out, it'll smoke much better. Which is clear evidence that the chemicals in it actually dissolve the buildup..

With this %10 ethenol crap in the gas now, should I run premium while seafoaming?

Wrong indeed.

As far as V-8 Mustangs the 1986 5.0's got fuel injection.

Fuel injection started taking over in the mid-late 80's as far as wide spread use. There were some cars that used it before then as well, like in a certain 1950-something Corvette.

Seafoam combusts, water doesnt...

It's back!!

Anywho, i just seafoamed a couple hours ago, unplugged the vaccum line then started her up but she wouldn't stay on, so i told my dad to put the paper towel where the throttle body was so it would stay on. Fed the seafoam through it, turned it off and waited about 15-20 or so minutes. Started it up and smoke came out, but it wasn't thick like anything i've seen but it came out nonetheless, gave it few revvs and went for a drive. Also put some in the crankcase, ill be changing the oil in few days and ill have to get another can for the gas tank.

Ideal

CRZYHRSGT · Jun 18, 2006

That does sound like an ideal app. I would have problems keeping it running with the vacuum hose off too...I just kept feathering the gas and gently taking my foot completely off until it was just barely running. Took some finesse but it worked.

On a side note, I swear this thread was started by Jason Voorhees. Just when you think it's dead, it comes back for yet another sequel.

Seafoam is teh *****!
