Yea but that only accounts for injecting it via the intake manifold, im sure fuel/crankcase wont make its way fully concentrated into the o2 sensor.

No, that was fuel mix only. The red is the chemicals in seafoam.

[SexPanda]

im gonna hit up a junk yard and get some used 02 sensors, screw them in, run the seafoam, that way I cant mess anything up...

thank god my car is obd1 lol.

good to know! I assume this is not carbon, and cant be cleaned off?

Go into the free clinic, and tell them you need an IV drip...

Then run like the wind?

No, it's the chemicals in the seafoam that contaminate the O2 sensor. Some argue it's a reaction with the additive package in the gasoline and not seafoams fault. But I am of the thought that gas doesn't kill my O2 sensor in under 500 miles normally so it is the seafoam.

I do similar to what SexPanda says. I wait till I'm going to replace the O2 anyways and seafoam bomb the car. Then after a few tank fulls of plain gasoline. I replace the O2 and spark plugs.

I just ran this in the car last night, peachy as hell.

Added it to the crankcase, brake booster line, then finally gas tank. Stalled out, started up and was smokey. So cool.

One of my vac lines came off and started making it run really harsh but its fixed now.

+10 for Seafoam

And check your O2 sensor and see if it looks like S14DB's red messed up O2 after like 500 miles or so.

[SochBAT]

Yea, new oil + flush, NGK plugs and wires.

Now i gotta get a damn o2 sensor. I know mine is shit now.

[SoSideways]

Yeah see, I would find a bolt to take the O2 sensor's place for the Seafoam treatment, then replace the O2 after like 500 miles, so that you can keep your current one.

I don't know about other locations, but my local Walmart started carrying Seafoam and it's much cheaper than other auto parts stores. You can find it in engine oil section.

I would keep the seafoam in for about 50 miles of normal driving. I just finished 100 miles of driving with seafoam in the oil and after I changed it, my timing tensioner seemed to be working much better, which cured a nice hesitation. THere is also no more >1500rpm popping from the exhaust durring decel.

I changed with amsoil 5w30

Home depot has it the cheapest.

Also Auto-RX seems to be the best and only safe top engine cleaner availibe. After reading about it, its the only thing to use in the oil

i did the seafoam in the vacuum tube thing on my 04 350z, no o2 sensor problems or any other problems for that matter... i really dont see why everyone thinks that it will mess something up... maybe it was a bad/cheap batch of o2 sensors from the manufacturers are the reason people are having problems? i dunno... but i had success with mine... it was fun too because on mine, a ton of white/grey smoke came out of the exhaust and everyone was looking over at my car... lol

Did you even read the thread?

S14DB took a pic of his O2 sensor AFTER he did the Sea Foam treatment, and next to it was a brand new O2 sensor.

Look at it.

Does it look like it's normal? No.

[murda-c]

Yeah i just plug up the big o2 sensor whole with an 18mm drain bolt.

I don't have a second o2 sensor right now.

thank you, but what i said was maybe it was a bad batch of o2 sensors or something because mine didnt go bad, a lot of other people have done this and not had their o2 sensors go bad... so did you even read what i wrote??? also, his turned pink... does that mean that the o2 sensor fried? or did it just clean the color off of the o2 sensor, like pouring bleach on a piece of colored cloth... just a thought...

[Bigsyke]

doesnt have to turn pink to go bad. It could still foul.

yea i was talking about homedudes comment about my comment about someone saying that their o2 sensor went bad...

i dont mean to sound like an ass, its just 3 am and im hyped up on sugar and starbucks and lack of sleep... lol

What do you guys think of this, found it on 240atlanta in a seafoam thread also:

I'll add a few words on the Seafoam cleaner. It contains no beneficial fuel detergents. However it is loaded with alcohol, which when burned gives the impression of better ignition. So it is basically a "one tank wonder". Better to spend your money on a valid polyether amine fuel cleaning product like BG 44K or Techron in my opinion. My motorcycle friends all rave on the Seafoam, but in actuality all it does is burn faster, thus fooling us into thinking it is a wonder drug cleaner. So I got curious and analyzed the Seafoam. It turned out to be just plain isopropyl alcohol, a dilution solvent, and a small percentage of light mineral oil. No significant metal additives or detergents to be found. So...my two cents worth of advice is spend your money elsewhere...

I suppose all the cars running water injection should all be hydrolocked now too right?

you're telling me you pour water into your crankcase?

shit still works, idc what it actually is. And it melts right through styrofoam cups. So dont use one to hold the seafoam for the brake booster line.

Okay, does somebody else want to explain to this guy why he's a complete dumbshit, or should I?

[MetricHotrods.com]

seafoam works. i seafoamed my VR6 back in the day about 750 miles before i pulled the head, and lo and behond, the valves and piston domes were GLISTENING, i thought i heard opera voices singing when i pulled the head off.

but yea, itll fuck your cat and o2 sensors, not to mention thin out your existing crankcase oil.

also, if the only thing you have keeping your car from smoking is a thin layer of carbon aruond your piston rings, itll start to smoke afterward. just something ot htink about.

actually, you sir are the retard.

if you pull your intake off exposing your throttle body while your car is running, then put water into a spray bottle like an old windex bottle, then spray it into your throttle body as you rev it a bit, the intake mani temps turn the water to steam, and it cleans your valves and combusition chambers.

i have done that a couple different times.

you just dont have a clue what youre talking about.
