Did a sea foam top end cleaning but not alot of smoke. I pulled the big vacuum line off the brake booster and I poured sea foam down it and it produced lil to no smoke at all and I dont know why. Car seems to be running better thought now. I also poured a full can into the tank. Why would it produce so little smoke? I know from experience that a top end cleaning produces alot of white smoke.

Mine smoked a lot for the first 15 seconds, lol. Really, so much I couldn't see my house, or inch infront of me, crazy. Then, not much at all, wasn't sure what I did wrong, but it seamed to run better.

Here what I did to get mine 100 % clean.
Took off TB, had it ported(lol) cleaned and polished it.
Cleaned the inside with a microfiber cloth and carb cleaner.
Changed the PCV valve
Let it run and get up to temp.
Poured into brake booster (1/2 can)
Had friend shut it off while pouring and let it set for 15ish minutes
Started and let it get warm and did a lot of WOT runs.
Poured 1/2 can in 1/2 tank of gas.
No smoke. Idle drastically improved, especially while hot and in gear.

You should run the car with the hose off and suck the seafoam into the motor. Then shut the car off and pour a little more in the hose and let it sit for 10 min then start it back up.

My car smoked a little for about 10 seconds but i think you missed the part where you spray sea foam in the intake and let it seat for 10 to 15 min. Try that
