Help!! Wtf? (Actually means) Post Seafoam engine problems
Ok so my car is running perfect like always... I decided to put it under the knife tomorrow to start building my NA-T. So i decided to seafoam it, Which.. I have done before with great sucsess.
Anyway... I let the engine warm up, fed 1/3 of the bottle the the vacuum line going to the brake booster then killed it. I let it sit for 5 min. like it says to on the bottle, then I cranked it and ran all of the smoke out, drove to the the gas station got gas, went home, parked and let it idle.
I go into the house, play on the comp for a while then go back outside to turn the car off but it was dead... wtf?
so i start it back up, it cranks then rpms drop and it dies.
I let it sit for 2 hours, It cranked up and ran great so i decided to drive down to the auto parts store for some new plugs for my NA-T. As soon as my car heated up fully it cut off on me going 60, loss power steering, everything! I had to swerve into a random neighborhood and leave it there. it will not crank at all!! I pulled a plug and it didn't look that bad at all..
I have no idea what this could be! I reset the ECU and everything...
now I'm obsessed with my car, i put every dime i make into that thing... It's in some random neighborhood.. I'm freaking out, stuck at work working from 5 to 12 while my car is at some random persons house.
IF it is my plugs, would it be ok to change the back 2 and front two and drive home on 4 good plugs and 2 fouled ones? it's only a 2 mile drive.
What else could it be? a CAT problem?
someone please help!
I'd also like to figure out what it is because i can't just start breaking **** down for my nat and convert it to map if it's still f'ed up.

you probably checked your front plug but the one thats probably seen better days are the ones in the rear which are closer to your egr valve. if you were cruising at highway speeds when it cut out it may have something to do with your egr. just make sure to check the rear 2 plugs if it doesnt crank in a few hours.
