i just bought my first stang , its a 3.8 , i only gave 1,700 for it because they had no idea how many miles were on it , but its in good shape just needs a little tune up , so i was going to seafoam it , but not just by pouring it in with the gas but by letting a vacum hose suck it into the valves little by little and watch the smoke show , but im not sure witch hose goes to all the valves , and ive read that it has to bypass the check valve to be done right , any help finding this??? its a 95 mustang 3.8 , only mods im aware of is the cold air intake

Easiest way is to pull the pcv valve out while car is running. Put drinking straw into can of Seafoam and hold the straw up to the pcv valve. It will slowly suck the cleaner up into everything that is in need of cleaning, eventually cleaning the upper intake manifold. Hope that helps. Seafoam is amazing at increasing performance. Our V6's suck ALOT of oil vapor inside and clog things up. Put a second can inside gas tank too!

SeaFoam is easiest to use when left on the parts store shelf. The only bottled mechanic I would ever even consider is Ford PM3. It costs less than SeaFoam to boot, and PM3 isn't just rubbing alcohol and naptha.
