Wow, that's pretty messed up...

I "finished" my seafoam treatment and the truck feels a little better, but I think somehow something went wrong. I sprayed the seafoam into the intake like I've always done, let it sit about a half hour to clean everything out, but then when I went out to restart the car... it didn't smoke. At all. I cannot imagine my engine had absolutely no carbon buildup in the cylinders/intake/etc at all, so I can't figure out what could have happened.

 

Yup, I'm not sure how many years we've been #1 for murders, home invasions, violence etc per capita but we're up there.

Maybe you waited too long & the seafoam (a petroleum distillate) evaporated?

 

I've done it on several cars in the past and always gave it about a half hour before restarting. Always worked before, but I suppose that's possible.

 

I suppose it could depend on how much went down there, humidity, if the engine was cold or hot, the amount of wind & if the hood was up lol... lots of things.

 

Same process as always. Drove the car around to get up to normal operating temp, sprayed it in until the canister was empty, replaced the hose on the intake, shut the hood, shut it off, screw around for a half hour, start up and go drive.

 

Hmmm if you've done it more than twice a year or 10,000- 15,000 miles you may be flogging a dead horse. Clean is clean & too much may hurt bearings, piston rings, seals etc etc.
But it should still fog for mosquitos like a banchee out the exhaust

First time I've done it on the Blazer. I just purchased it in May. I'm just talking about the process I've used on my other vehicles.

 

I seafoamed the gas tank a week back and now ill seafoam the intake, glad to hear others have done it too bc i wasn't sure if it was used in blazers or not...and fixed the p0440 code, EVAP system, the freaking gas cap wasn't clicked 3x, weird since it didn't code for like 5days. but whatever. going to be painting my last name on the driver/passenger door in blue metallic later this week too. Happy blazin guys
