Yes the SC has one, i'lll post one up sometime this weekend. It smoked for quite a while....So I might just add more seafoam later and give it a run through again.

But for the jist of things, without a picture, if you pop open your hood, the brake booster Valve is nearest the STeering wheel, you see like a big black box and a top going from there to the engine, take off taht tube after that connecter, because the connector tat connects both valves is supposedly a filter...so take it after the filter. I'll submit a picture soon.

oh yeah when you used seafoam afterward did you need to change your plugs or wires or oxygen sensors? i heard you might have to after cleaning the engine.

I haven't changed anything yet. And I doubt you'd have to change anything. My cousin read other forums for like Maximas and stuff that's how I found out about SeaFoam. EVerything runs fine in my car, and no I didn't have to change my oil after running with it. According to www.seafoamsales.com I'm pretty sure you can leave it in your engine. It is by the way, 100% petroleum, and isn't our oil already petroleum based? I haven't needed to change my OX Sensor or plugs, nada, and I just drove up from LA to SJ in no time. Mileage was ~20mpg....And yea....its about a 320 Mile drive, so...It still runs great to me.

Very nice! I bought a can because i heard it works great. My motor has about 225k miles on it and I know it is really dirty inside. The only thing im afraid of is having to replace the O2 Sensor. Do I really need to replace it after the treatment?

interested also.... how mny o2 sensors do we have and where are they (and are they hard to get to)

I'd assume that just like a poster before me said... just take out your sensors and plug it up with something. Unless of course your o2 sensors needs to be chnged.

I used seafoam in my modified AWD turbo Talon without any problems... I didn't have much smoke though so I don't think I had very much build-up to clean out.
