Default Bringing up Seafoam again!

I plan to seafoam my car this weekend along with a good MX/tune-up. Now the lasttime i seafoamed my T/A, all 4 O2 sensors crapped out. Has this happened to anyone else? I didnt get any smoke from my last car either. Now my new T/A, is in much better shape than the old one and only has 2 O2 sensors, but i still dont want the damn SES light to pop on like my last experience with SF. Any help or ideas would be great, thanks.

I dunno what to do differently.. But when I SF'd mine I just took the MAF off and sprayed directly into the intake. Everything seemed fine and happy when I was done.

If you're really that worried about fouling your O2's out, then don't do it I guess.

Isn't there two products to seafoam your car. I know there is a liquid hat most people but in the oil and through a vacuum line, but isn't there an aerosol version now?

The spray can stuff is called Deep Creep...lot of people spray that into the intake and let it soak overnight, then do the normal Seafoam-through-the-booster deal.

When I used seafoam in the brake booster line it knocked out 1 O2 sensor. But the engine in my 98 z28 ran way better!
