I've been doing some research on seafoam for weeks and decided to give it a shot, I watched some youtube videos as well and one user chrisfix ran it through the intake, so I did it and my car had no smoke. Right after that the car had really rough idle, in park, the rpm needle would jump up and down, sometimes just hovering around 500 rpm.

I drove it the next day and as I was coming to a stop, the car just shut off on me and I had to put it in park and start the car on again. When I drive it on the highway theres no sign of misfire or anything.

I opened the intake and checked the hose and it seem wet, took out the air filter and 10% of it was wet, and maybe 1 inch of liquid in the intake box at the bottom. Very strange. I cleaned out everything but still stalling and hovering around 500 rpm. Any suggestions? could it gotten into the spark plugs?

Where did you pour it in at? Maybe you left a vacuum line loose. Seafoam should have disolved right away. On my car I ran a bottle and a half of the stuff.

May have to clear codes. a lot of the solvent will get stuck in the intake manifold also

Any check engine light?

Sounds like you didnt do the vacuum method. Did you put it before your intake? Maybe MAF cleaner?

Yes, CEL is on but that was from before, had some code regarding the bank 02 etc, havent ran another code test yet. I sprayed the bottle with the nozzle it came with into the intake hose going towards the engine. I bought some MAF cleaner and sprayed it as well. I'll try the vacuum hose method next, can anyone tell me where its located? is it where where I drew the red lines in this pic? thanks.

The plug above works good too. You will have rich codes and misfire codes you need to clear codes/ reset adaptions

Ya on mine I took off that plug and put my own small vacuum line and let it suck the bottle down.

I'm confused, so that tube I drew is not the vacuum hose that sucks? but I can use that hose the same way to suck the seafoam bottle? I just cleared the codes, got only 1 and its o2 sensor from the cat, but I had that code for a year now, the other 3 is gone!
