I poured Sea Foam into my Intake manifold and now the car won't start. I hope I didn't fuck anything up, because I didn't leave the car on when I was pouring it in. The starter is cranking, but the engine wont start. Is this normal? Its been over 5 mins. I was having a little bit of starting problems before, but now its realy acting up. Also It looks like the Sea Foam is leaking out of my exaust manifold. Idk if that meens I have to replace the gasket.

 

You are supposed to do it while the engine is running... How much did you put in?

 

I put in about 1/3 the can. I think its flooded. What do you think?

 

1st i've heard of someone putting that in with the engine off so i'm not really sure but I assume you flooded it. Why didn't you read the directions?

 

Wow Im having bad luck and the Sea Foam is the last of my car trouble. I steped away from my car for 10 seconds and somone swerved and hit my car. I am pissed. My car is undrivable. Also my car still wont start. Does that Sea Foam ever evaporate?

 

Damn sorry to hear man, that just sucks. Not sure if it evaporates or not though.

 

Yeah It realy does suck. I hope I can get the car fixed through his insurance. They are giving me the run around.

 

Well aside from yor car getting hit, (mine was rear ended tuesday) your supposed to drizzle the sea foam into the intake while the car is running. Once the seafoam is gone, you kill the car for 5 mins. Then fire it back up. Prepare for the fumes and take it for a drive right away (not you) to blow the shit out, otherwise your going to piss off your neighbors. If it won't start right now, what you need to do is spray from starting fluid in the intake, that should fire it up and then it'll be running and should start pushing the seafoam through the system.

 

Ok I'm going to try that. Thanx. All I have to worry about is that guys insurance paying up.

 

Well if your car was not starting when it was hit, I'm going to assume that it was stationary when it was hit. As long as you were not illegally parked, I do not see what the ins. co. might try to dispute, therefore liability should be clear.
