I wouldn't leave it in there for more than about 20 miles though, thats plenty to clean up the crankcase.

Did mine today with 75000 miles on her. Not to bad at first, but once I got on it smoked alot. Of course as soon as I pull out onto the empty highway, someone pulls right behind me. Oh well. Car does take off a little better now. Time to go do it to my brothers mustang.

The mustang coughed up a lung. SES light has been on for a while. We changed plugs and light went off for a week. Came back on replaced wires and coil. One week later here it comes again. Everytime we had to reset computer.
Pour Sea Foam in, and before we get 1/3 of bottle in, it starts smoking like hell. Poured rest in and let sit for 20min. Start it up, and let's just say there will be no bugs around for a while. SES turned itself off and car runs 100% better.

Im going to be seafoaming a 91 CRX w.175k miles i just bought this weekend. I let you know what happened. I going to pour a hole can in the gas tank, 1/2 can in the oil, and the other 1/2 in the brake booster. I will also be spraying the deep creed in the TB. I think it going to restore a lot of power in this car.

Nice write-up chaco... Just seafoamed my 99 firehawk 82,000 miles.. surprisingly easier than i imagined... although my car didnt kill when i threw the last gulp of seafoam in my brake booster hose.. after 30 mins i closed the cutout so that i wouldnt get any carbon buildup in the cab.. and smoked it up throughout the neighborhood.. pretty sure i pissed off the neighbors bc it looked like a frag had gone off... definitely drove a lot smoother and lights up harder in 2nd gear.. thanks again
