I really dont think this stuff works. If Carbon build up were really coming out of your exhaust it would just be a very thick, very black could of smoke.. not white.
I would not recommend doing this. For idle and acceleration issue on these older Hondas, you should remove and clean your IAC, Throttle Body, and EGR valve and clean EGR ports and cover plate if you have them. It is an easy job and costs about $40 in gaskets and cleaner. You should use an "oil based" cleaner for long-term cleaning [like Lucas?] rather than SeaFoam which is alcohol based. Doing what this video says, especially if you do it improperly, will cost you engine life.
DONT DO IT!...i did this to my 1994 honda accord...and guess wut my engine is on a stand..im going threw all the gaskets and replacing them...becuz thanks to seafoam it Blew my head gasket, and now i have antifreeze everywhere in the motor :) this stuff it great
@schrankm you can't sit there and tell me what and did not do to my engine. I did not for a fact over heat my engine in anyway possible. It was running just fine then i put seafoam in it and fucked everything up.. then when it started to leak antifreeze into the engine. it then start to over heat because their was no coolant since it got burned threw the engine.
@kingofbass63 you say "it started to leak antifreeze into the engine". if you knew you had antifreeze leaking where it shouldn't be, why would you not stop running the engine? most normal people quit using an engine when they know there's a serious issue. nevertheless, seafoam is not to blame. it's a petroleum based product -- not sulfuric acid.
@flybikes90 You're acually right and wrong, You are seeing an "oil" like substance burning off but that is the varnish or sludge or what ever you like to call it "a very very dence hydrocarbon" . But the way seafoam and a plethrea of other products work is they burn hotter and don't compress as well as gas alone. thus dehydrating the hydro carbon and putting under greater preasure thus in the hopes of dislodging it. but if you want to see the carbon wrap a old white tee shirt at the tail pipe.
why you seafoam your honda? carbon build up is really heavy when you dont drive your car that much and been sitting often,and also that white smoke is the seafoam you pour on the intake,its not carbon,carbon should be black,i barely see anything
Ethanol is really good at cleaning up oil. I used to work for a company dumping all sorts of petroleum products including crude oil that was basically sludge and the ethical ate right through it and cleaned it up. The stuff works
Very informative. I have a 2001 Honda Prelude, and I need help on adding seafoam to the engine, and other places where needed. If so, could you take me step by step on how to? That would be great. :)
@GreddyAccord99 its crazy, i have like the exact same car as you...emerald green, sri, similar catback, everything else....except mines an 01 haha....are you a member of 6GA? i think ive seen you on that site
@GreddyAccord99 hey man i have a 1998 accord 3.0 vtec i was gonna do this treatment do you have to rev it like that?was wondering because i never do that
i highly dont recommend this, if you have the proper equipment that can produce a 1 second drop of treatment id use the pcv valve instead or another vaccume line thats going in the crankcase.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
quite frankly this guys an idiot! i work for an actualy shop! and the when we do a 3 parts fuel system clean (manifold, crankcase [ oil] and gas tank) first of all the vaccume hose connected to the brake booster should be the last resort, because the alcohol in the treatment eats up the seals in the booster and second of all the way he was pouring it was way too fast it has to be a 1 to 2 second DROP of the treatment over a period of 30min with the engine at an idle of about 2grand!
@GreddyAccord99 ok, how about long run? let's see it in the next 6 months. I think some gasket materials can survive this test. but let see. by the way, what is that can?
@GreddyAccord99 Anybody that uses seafoam is a dumbass, that junk washes your oil from your cylinder walls and destroys your compression rings on your pistons. So no it will not help you at all. Do your self a favor and buy a head gasket kit, pull the heads and clean, polish, and remove build up that way.
@cubanjoe56 im srry dude but u sure u work for a shop? cause i think ur a little bit wrong. i OWN a shop and ive never seen anyone come to me after sea foam use about seals in the booster.and he was not pouring it way too fast he was pouring like instructed. so in other words stop being the litlle kid on the computer acting like he knows wat hes saying
@cubanjoe56 obviously this guy works for a lube shop and knows nothing about mechanics. I am ASE certified and i can tell you for a fact that the guy in this video is doing it perfectly, although you can wait 30-60 mins without any danger. If you dont know then dont respond
@cubanjoe56 it's not like it is going to dissolve that whole brake booster line with a can of seafoam.... and he isn't going to hurt a thing by adding it "too fast" as you said.
@cubanjoe56 -your a fucking douche bag buddy dissing on the guy fag your the idiot not him moron go back to your gay shop and shov a vacum hose up your ass you moron
@cubanjoe56 Quite possibly one of the dumbest things I have seen. In order to clean gunk and carbon buildup off of cylinders and valves you need to put as much injector cleaner as you can while pressing on the gas pedal in order to keep the motor running. At my shop if we ever use seafoam we do it properly, 33 percent in the crankcase, 33 percent in the gas tank and another 33 percent in a pressure bottle sent through the booster. Have never experienced a problem in 5 years
@cubanjoe56 Btw a drop is not the best method, the best way to do it is through the rail. Second best is fogging it through the throttle body (except nissans). Explain how you ruin seals on a booster when the cleaner is sent through the intake, there should be no way fluid is returning to the booster unless you are pouring it in and then just hooking it back up without running the vehicle. Just change the oil 20-30 minutes after putting it in the crankcase. Don't spread false info.
@cubanjoe56, hey the product says it wont do anything to the seals, do you even know how long this product has been around. If you aren't using Z-Max this is the perfect DIY for the backyard mechanic, besides this should be only for a engine if its seriously needs cleaning.
@cubanjoe56 how does it eat the seals in the brake booster when it dosent get in there??? the hose goin from the booster to the intake not into the booster???
@cubanjoe56 If you work at a shop you would know that the hose goes into the intake and to the booster and he undone it at the booster and there for it went into the intake.???
@cubanjoe56 tell me how the seafoam "eats up the seals in the booster" when the engine is pulling vacuum through that hose? it's not forcing air into the booster, which is why it's called a vacuum booster. the last time i checked, vacuum meant creating a negative pressure. i don't see how seafoam magically enters the booster when it's under vacuum pressure pulling AWAY from the booster. so much for your mechanical knowledge. sweeping floors in a shop doesn't make you an ASE master mechanic.
@schrankm You are correct about one thing vacuum is negative prressure but let me ask you this, when you put the vacuum hose back on the booster what happens to the excess fluid left in the hose? i would like to know your amazing mechanical input. Because if you have an ounce of intellegence you would know that it is not under an immense amount of vacuum pressure to suck all fluids out the hose, so where you think the excess fluid goes? drips down the booster and eats the seals. stupid!
@cubanjoe56 if YOU had an ounce of intelligence, you would know how to spell the word 'intelligence'. lmao the vacuum is great on that hose. how would a drop or two of seafoam "eat" seals? if you weren't a fucking moron, you would discover that seafoam is a petroleum based product. how does oil "eat" a rubber seal? if seafoam is so bad for rubber, how does it not ruin the rubber fuel lines or rubber in or on the fuel pump? in case you don't know, it's also used in the fuel system, retard.
@cubanjoe56 and why is it that your incredibly intelligent comment has so many negative votes that it's hidden? mine has 7 positve votes and it's still readily visible.
@schrankm thats because people are misinformed and dont know anybetter, it happens. there a device that u put on the hood of the vehicle with a tube that u connect to the hose that goes into the manifold and it uses gravity to gradualy drop fluid into manifold at a brisk pace because if you pour it to fast IT is know to hydrolock the engine, like when people have the intake under car run over a puddle thats extreme but it can happen using your method also.im sorry i was so rude i just dont agree
@cubanjoe56 i guess people are misinformed by the manufacturer of seafoam. have you never read the instructions on the can? if you pour it into a hose connected to the manifold, the hose will still have vacuum since it's connected to the intake. where do you think engine vacuum comes from? the engine will die long before it hydrolocks because seafoam is non combustible and too much entering the combustion chambers will create an air fuel mixture that is much too lean.
@cubanjoe56 the manufacturer says to slowly pour it into a central vacuum source, such as the pcv hose. the vacuum booster hose works just the same. if the company says to do it this way, i believe it is correct and it works just fine and the company knows infinitely more about it than you or i.
@schrank When I "fog" an engine like this I find it usefull to lightly rap on the cat cause alot of the bigger chunks can get stuck in the upside of the honey combs in it. I probably burnt up two converters be fore I did this. Sometimes I will even do this before I fog the engine, drive or lightly rev it till its nice and hot as satans nads, then prop it at oh 1500-2000 and whack at it you'd be surprised what comes out : )
@bobrossftw when i aquire a vehicle, one of the first things i do is remove the converter and throw it away. you can't possibly have a problem with a plugged converter on your vehicle if it doesn't have one. the things are useless as hell.
@schrankm My 1996 sunfire gt with 207,000 + doesnt have one either anymore, i was just stating that process for our friends in places like cali. I how ever am in Indiana and we don't care get a sawzall and get on with life am I right. : ) the only down side to removing the cat is the car will run a little richer but with the right plugs and a hotter ignition you can make that to your favor so go with it. Gas mileage will suffer so they say but my sunfire gets like 35 mpg stock is 29.
@bobrossftw it won't affect how the car runs at all unless it's a newer car with multiple O2 sensors. yours and the ones i'm speaking of have only one. the exhaust out the tailpipe will contain more fuel vapors, simply because the converter is no longer there to burn the fumes. if you go messing with spark plugs that burn hotter, you're asking for trouble. if it ran rich, the check engine light would come on. my fuel mileage has only gotten better and more power with no converter.
@schrankm ya I chose the name cause I like the way how you have no idea how he's gonna make it work till the last moment then the brilliance of internal contemplation.
@bobrossftw IVE SEEEEEEEN YOUR SUNFIRE ha its black and i have a cat on me neon.... fucker keeps leaving paw prints on my windshield 02 is only plugged into my af ratio gauge only code i can pull from it is power interuption aka i changed my battery
@schrankm seems like alot of people may not directly blame seafoam for vacum booster seals but defienlty blame it for everything else! i can ALMOST garantee greddyaccord99's car is not running right now
@cubanjoe56 i would bet money that it is still running. i CAN guarantee seafoam did not have ANY ill effects on his car. so you think a car is inoperable because of a brake booster? we've already been over this anyway. seafoam cannot get into the booster unless you pour it into the booster. even if you did, it wouldn't hurt a thing. if you look above, it seems that at least 12 people agree.
@Asim1Killa cuase of all the white smoke comin out the exhuast could blind people when drivin with all the smoke i done it an smoked out a whole road full of cars an a neighbor hood haha
I seafoamed and now my car stalls. I did everything everybody else did 1/3 in gas, crankcase, and booster. I waited 10mins after adding it in, and had a nice smoke show for 2 mins. Afterwards my car kept shaking like crazy. Now everytime I start it, it stalls automatically. PLEASE HELP!
use a vacuum port on the throttle body, using your brake booster line floods just 1 or 2 cylnders. Use a clear pvc line and stick one end on the tb nipple, and one end the botlle. Half way between the line use a Y splitter to allow air so your engine wont drown out.
@z3man84 seafoam is an EPA registered product fyi. The chemicals in seafoam break up the carbon so it can be blown out. Stop being a tree hugger. Its not like millions of people are doing this at one time. As far as i know the whole world is screwed environmentally beyond repair anyways.
I am no mechanic, but I don't recommend this. If you want to clean out your engine and keep it clean use a quality synthetic oil, Shell V Power gasoline or another high quality gas, and a quality fuel injector cleaner.
You should really do this after your car is @ normal operating temp. And its safe 2 drive the car after letting the seafoam sit. IMO it's actually better to drive the car cause the smoke will clear 2 times faster than just revving it. I actually WOT mine & i suck the seafoam in thru the pcv valve.
@GreddyAccord99 Ok, near the end when you put the rest of the seafoam in the gas tank, do you just leave it sitting there? And drive it around with the seafoam in it? Or, do you have to drive around until your gas is empty along w/the sea foam.
@godrilla No, you don't have to drive it around, it can just sit there for a while. The seafoam in your gas tank takes over like a "gas treatment" product that you would see at an auto parts store. A piece of advice though is to put the rest of the seafoam into a full tank of gas so it'll mix in and you'll get the most out of that third or half (whichever you decided to use).
after you use sea foam i always recommend changing your oil, sea foams cleaning detergents is not good to stay in your oil or engine fro along period of time it can casue harmful damages later on!
hahahah all u american car lovers give it up ok ur american thing might be a lil faster but its uglyy man face it its outdated an trust me i have a 91 lx h22a swap and ur wife would hop in an on mines than urs any day
@europhiCc punctuation? grammar? wow. If you are going to bother typing, at least type whole sentences instead of a whole paragraph of garbage nobody can read.
@northeasteg6 Seafoam website claims it is 100% petroleum product. Ethyl alchohol(Ethanol) is not any sort of petroleum dervitave and neither is water.
@northeasteg6 Seafoam website claims it is 100% petroleum product. Ethyl alchohol(Ethanol) is not any sort of petroleum dervitave and neither is water. However I can't proove it but I am with you that the majority of the smoke is the seafoam product and not carbon. However this stuff disolves carbon very well so I am sure it is expelling lots of carbon too.
I wish people would understand how seafoam works. It idles like that with a vacuum leak. Also this helps out a lot because after i did my car, the throttle response was much faster and the air was flowing more freely. Transmission was also a lot smoother even though you don't put any into the transmission itself.
@northeasteg6 At the time I read it wrong, I thought he was saying take off the head, then I wondered why I had so many people responding about that, lol.
I really dont think this stuff works. If Carbon build up were really coming out of your exhaust it would just be a very thick, very black could of smoke.. not white.

@cubanjoe56 if YOU had an ounce of intelligence, you would know how to spell the word 'intelligence'. lmao the vacuum is great on that hose. how would a drop or two of seafoam "eat" seals? if you weren't a fucking moron, you would discover that seafoam is a petroleum based product. how does oil "eat" a rubber seal? if seafoam is so bad for rubber, how does it not ruin the rubber fuel lines or rubber in or on the fuel pump? in case you don't know, it's also used in the fuel system, retard.

@schrankm thats because people are misinformed and dont know anybetter, it happens. there a device that u put on the hood of the vehicle with a tube that u connect to the hose that goes into the manifold and it uses gravity to gradualy drop fluid into manifold at a brisk pace because if you pour it to fast IT is know to hydrolock the engine, like when people have the intake under car run over a puddle thats extreme but it can happen using your method also.im sorry i was so rude i just dont agree
cubanjoe56 7 months ago
@cubanjoe56 i guess people are misinformed by the manufacturer of seafoam. have you never read the instructions on the can? if you pour it into a hose connected to the manifold, the hose will still have vacuum since it's connected to the intake. where do you think engine vacuum comes from? the engine will die long before it hydrolocks because seafoam is non combustible and too much entering the combustion chambers will create an air fuel mixture that is much too lean.
schrankm 7 months ago
@cubanjoe56 the manufacturer says to slowly pour it into a central vacuum source, such as the pcv hose. the vacuum booster hose works just the same. if the company says to do it this way, i believe it is correct and it works just fine and the company knows infinitely more about it than you or i.

@schrank When I "fog" an engine like this I find it usefull to lightly rap on the cat cause alot of the bigger chunks can get stuck in the upside of the honey combs in it. I probably burnt up two converters be fore I did this. Sometimes I will even do this before I fog the engine, drive or lightly rev it till its nice and hot as satans nads, then prop it at oh 1500-2000 and whack at it you'd be surprised what comes out : )

@bobrossftw when i aquire a vehicle, one of the first things i do is remove the converter and throw it away. you can't possibly have a problem with a plugged converter on your vehicle if it doesn't have one. the things are useless as hell.

@schrankm My 1996 sunfire gt with 207,000 + doesnt have one either anymore, i was just stating that process for our friends in places like cali. I how ever am in Indiana and we don't care get a sawzall and get on with life am I right. : ) the only down side to removing the cat is the car will run a little richer but with the right plugs and a hotter ignition you can make that to your favor so go with it. Gas mileage will suffer so they say but my sunfire gets like 35 mpg stock is 29.
bobrossftw 5 months ago in playlist Car
@bobrossftw it won't affect how the car runs at all unless it's a newer car with multiple O2 sensors. yours and the ones i'm speaking of have only one. the exhaust out the tailpipe will contain more fuel vapors, simply because the converter is no longer there to burn the fumes. if you go messing with spark plugs that burn hotter, you're asking for trouble. if it ran rich, the check engine light would come on. my fuel mileage has only gotten better and more power with no converter.

cubanjoe56 2 weeks ago
@cubanjoe56 i would bet money that it is still running. i CAN guarantee seafoam did not have ANY ill effects on his car. so you think a car is inoperable because of a brake booster? we've already been over this anyway. seafoam cannot get into the booster unless you pour it into the booster. even if you did, it wouldn't hurt a thing. if you look above, it seems that at least 12 people agree.

use a vacuum port on the throttle body, using your brake booster line floods just 1 or 2 cylnders. Use a clear pvc line and stick one end on the tb nipple, and one end the botlle. Half way between the line use a Y splitter to allow air so your engine wont drown out.

You should really do this after your car is @ normal operating temp. And its safe 2 drive the car after letting the seafoam sit. IMO it's actually better to drive the car cause the smoke will clear 2 times faster than just revving it. I actually WOT mine & i suck the seafoam in thru the pcv valve.

GreddyAccord99 1 year ago
@GreddyAccord99 Ok, near the end when you put the rest of the seafoam in the gas tank, do you just leave it sitting there? And drive it around with the seafoam in it? Or, do you have to drive around until your gas is empty along w/the sea foam.
godrilla 1 year ago
@godrilla No, you don't have to drive it around, it can just sit there for a while. The seafoam in your gas tank takes over like a "gas treatment" product that you would see at an auto parts store. A piece of advice though is to put the rest of the seafoam into a full tank of gas so it'll mix in and you'll get the most out of that third or half (whichever you decided to use).

I wish people would understand how seafoam works. It idles like that with a vacuum leak. Also this helps out a lot because after i did my car, the throttle response was much faster and the air was flowing more freely. Transmission was also a lot smoother even though you don't put any into the transmission itself.
