You're pouring a liquid into a chamber with moving parts and if you just go pouring the contents in right away you're going to pretty much hydrolock the motor. You have to pour the 1/3 of the bottle which is like 5.3 ounces or something like that and than shut the car off for 5 minutes and restart, beat the hell out of it til it stops smoking. Im glad to hear you fixed the problem but be careful using seafoam, as it can kill an engine not help it.
um ur wrong. i use seafoam on a near monthly basis through my tank and about once every three months thru the vaccuum lines. yes it will kill your motor when u suck it in thats what its supposed to do. dont believe me? ask a seafoam rep if u know one, when i first started carrying the product in my store the rep did exactly that and explained to me to let the motor die out and then wait roughly 45 minutes and then proceded to start the motor. thats straight from the reps mouth.
