sea foam brake booster line
anyone know where the brake booster line is on our cars? my guess is it's the tube connected to the intake right before the throttle body. I am trying to use sea foam to clean out my valves but they say to slowly pour the stuff in through the pcv valve or brake booster line while the engine is running. However, when I remove the intake so that I could pour the stuff in, and then turn on the engine, the enginge starts and then dies right away. Is there some safety thing going one here? Has anyone used sea foam before?
thanks

I've never used Sea Foam before, and have no clue what it even is, but I can tell you that the engine shuts down due to the MAF not getting what it needs when the intake tube is hooked up. I'd be wary of pouring stuff into my engine without knowing FOR SURE whether or not it'll be fine for the car.

you can buy seafoam at any napa or your local autoparts store. people also use water...fill up a cap full and suck it in through a vaccum line. i personally use seafoam then the water to clean out anything left over from the foam then change the plugs since they will foul out soon there after.
