Seafoaming A Fiero

This is my 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT. it has a little under 70k miles on it. 1/3 went into the brake booster line and the rest into the gas tank. If anyone is curious to which line i put it in post a comment and ill post a vid of the exact like and show exactly how i did it step by step. it deffinetly made the lil car sound better and run smoother. also helped the car start up a little better

When you get this much debris launching out, just monitor your cat and spark plugs for a bit after. I did this to my Father's car, and it looked like James Bond's car after Seafoaming it, and the engine light came on about 3 weeks later. The cat was clogged from all the junk. Also, the brake booster line is typically where people have it sucked into, but is not the best. Reason being, look where it feeds, it does not get to all the intake plenum feeds to the runners. Just some... I use the TB.

@2muchreality4u whats TB stand for? i have no idea. and did the cats clog because of what the seafoam cleaned out?

@BombChane11 He probably means throttle body, i dont know what he means by james bonds car though :/?

[BombChane11]

@SkidRock088 yeah throttle body makes sence. oh well maybe he dosent even know what that means

I've got to be honest here, I've never thought that using Seafoam in the vacuum port was a good thing. It's really NOT good at all for your car's emission systems, including the vacuum regulator that sits cantellievered between the engine and the battery on the passenger side. Next time you do the SeaFoam cleaning, just pour 1 can in with a FULL tank of gas (ideally at the pump JUST before you fill it up) and after 2 days of driving, it will do the same thing with no injury to the car.

@BombChane11 Correct, all the debris that built up over the years clogged the cat. The cat in question was old to begin with. It was on its last leg, but since this is a Fiero, I don't know what mileage it has and if the cat has been replaced. Just something to watch for.
