i just used seafoam on my gf's 92 teg LS.. with 145K miles... it won't start now!! i followed all the directions.. pls help!!

 

Your sparks might have gone kaputz. It happens if you use seafoam, you should put POS plugs before doing the seafoam so you dont ruin good ones... probably thats your problem tho.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. We thought it might be the plugs but after replacing them with new ones the problem still exists. Any other ideas as to what it may be? Could it be that the engine is flooded?

 

Well, "Wont start" is a broad description. What noises does it make? Does it turn over much? Explain everything that happens when you try to start the car.

 

it cranks, but won't ignite... spark plugs have been changed, and the old ones look like shit... full of carbon... we're thinking it might be flooded cylinders.... any ideas?? and do i just need to drain the oil if it's flooded cylinders?

 

No...

If you can dump seafoam in your oil, what would be so bad if some leaked by into your oil through the cylender...

 

it's a bad thing for oil to leak into the cylinders?? shitt.....anyways, i was told to just to let the car sit for a few days...would draining the oil/ doing an oil change help quicken the process?? also, wat the worst case scenario i'm looking at here??

anyone from Indiana wanna come down here and help me out??

 

quick thing here...does she have oil in the car? dont know if u checked but i had similar problems on my old car when the oil used to get real low.

 

tons of oil.... too much, i think, according to the dipstick..... and lots of fuel too... abt 3/4 tank full...

 

fuel shouldnt be a problem. change the oil. make sure u put the right amount in. also check the oil for bubbles(white foam, not ones caused by the oil fallin into the pan) or anitfreeze. that might mean she has a head gasket problem. is fuel getting to the engine? might want to check the fuel filters, possibly change them as well. yeah oil in the cylinders is bad. never a good thing(im lookin into the problem myself). when u take plugs out, does smoke lift from the cylinder chambers?
