Yes, I remove the hose that the yellow circle indicates. My car will run without it. It wants to die when I start sucking up the SeaFoam though. Do you have someone that can work the gas when you do this? Also, I remove the hose with the engine off and then start the car. Maybe that makes a difference?

Twist the throttle blade manually, with your hand.

At the time, no i had no one to help me so i just gave up.

I will have someone help me tomorrow. And the car was running when i unplugged the hose, so maybe i will try unplugging it first tomorrow, then starting the car.

Nah, I can't turn the throttle while holding the cup of SeaFoam and the tube into the plenum. Easier to put the wife on it...

You lack the skill, young apprentice. It can be done.

Watch my video, I demonstrate a perfect procedure of feeding the seafoam and holding the throttle open at the same time

Okay, I just went to PepBoys and picked up a bottle of Seafoam. It says nothing on the can about changing the oil after doing it. Would it be okay to do it tomorrow and to change the oil on Saturday or Sunday? Thanks for any input...Also, topless98gt, where is the link to your video...wanna make sure I do it right the first time

Depends on which way you are doing it. There are 3 ways to use Seafoam in your car.

1) Through the intake, which is what my video demonstrates: http://media.putfile.com/seafoam_feed
2) Put it through the crank case (requires an oil change soon after)
3) In the gas tank. This will clean your injectors, etc.
