did you follow the directions properly, once you are almost there with pouring all you need in the vac line (brake booster vac line btw) you pour enough in there to kill the engine

Default RE:Seafoam

I have used seafoam before and did not see the white smoke like on the youtube video.
I put a bottle in the gas tank and a bottle down the vacume booster line and no white smoke.

Maybe you just have an incredibly clean engine. Another stupid question, but when you got it started again, did you leave it parked and rev it to 2k rpms?

Default Seafoam spray and straw

From what ive read I believe that when you use the vac line method it dont get to all cylinders, just the back 2... I think. Seafaom makes a spray that you can spray into the intake from the throttle body. You have to email seafoam to get a special straw, but they sent me 4 for free. You spray it and let it sit for a few minutes and start it and run it. here is a link to the website. Sea Foam | How to Use Sea Foam Spray | General Content - Sea Foam Spray hope it helps

Or you just unplug tha MAF sensor and the MAP sensor from the intake then take the intake off the throttle body, start it then SLOWLY pour some down the throttle body.
