i know this is an old post but since its already back form the dead:

why is this thread called "How to clean your throttle body"? this method doesn't clean your throttle body. cleaning your throttle body would involve removing it, and disasembling the plate and everything to clean out any build up that might cause a sticky tb plate etc

this method cleans the intake manifold and combustion chamber.

merry xmas everyone

Why wouldn't you?? The sea foam burns off the carbon build up and such improving your cars ability to breath and burn the fuel better.

Samson, an idle problem is usually caused by a dirty or bad IACV.

How long does it take to get rid of all the smoke from the exhaust?

Do you keep the car on when you are pouring in the seafoam?

Default Throttle body..

I just cleaned my car's throttle body using Deep Creep.
I noticed that the engine oil is a little (blacker) darker.
Do i need to change engine oil?
