I don't know if this helps but I thought I had a misfire (not on scanner but just from driving) I have been chasing this bitch for a long time...and guess what I've found so far..
I bought a spray can of seafoam creep and sprayed it into the pcv hose towards my manifold ..(LS6) and lo and behold the feeling of misfire is gone..
I'm not saying it'll work for you and I have never read someone spraying in the tb and the pcv hose to the manifold/tb but I figured what the hell..
Dam car runs smooth like never before. (u may want to ask others if its ok to spray seafoam creep into the pcv hose into the intake as I've never read anyone ever did that..(they usually buy the liquid and pour it in I believe)
I just felt more at ease running the motor and spraying it (making sure the little red tube doesn't get sucked in)
For one day today..the car has run better than ever before...
Maybe it might help? (really felt like a misfire) I thought the 02 was causing me a problem tooo but today...I'm very satisfied with the end result..
Is it ok to use seafoam deep creep spray into the pcv hose towards the manifold...I just disconnected the pcv valve and sprayed it in...

I just wanted to thank you Choco. Just did it tonight and I can immediately tell the difference. Ive got about 90k on the clock so needless to say it smoked like crazy.
Kind of funny story, I waited until nighttime cause people usually don't come down my street and noones out, trying to be considerate. So I start the car wait about 10 minutes and im off. I get to the stop sign, and I gun it. Smoke is pouring out back, and that **** stinks, so im like im glad nobody is out. I look to my left and there is a guy, leaning against his car on a cellphone. I get passed him and I slow down and the guy is totally engulfed in smoke. I mean I cant see him at all and I'm only like 100 ft away. I laughed until my stomach hurt, I felt bad but damn was it funny to me. I made damn sure I didn't go that way back home.

My car is coming out of storage next tuesday, and going in for a tune the next monday. The tank has sta-bil in it right now, would it hurt to add the seafoam to it as well?? I wanted to make sure I seafoamed the car before tuning. I'm not going to do the oil because I know thats clean, just wanted to know if you guys think the sta-bil and sea foam would react??? Hope not, becase I really want to get it all cleaned out before the tune.

I want to have a clean system and filter for the tuning on monday. Thats why i'm hoping i can just do it all in one tank, then swap out the fuel filter.

So today i'm at advanced buying some seafoam and the guy asks me,"do you have a Honda?" and i'm like no,why? he then says "well this stuff wil ruin a honda, i've seen three where it burnt up the pistons..". My response back to him was that they must be some shitty *** pistons..He then went on to how he was so excited to pick up his civic hatch tonight with "shaved heads" stating it will go 140 but that he doesn't know how much hp it actually has. I call BS to his face and say theres no way a NA(which he didn't know what NA meant) civic will go 145 in the quater! He then says "oooh i'm not talking about the quater, i just mean how fast it will be able to go"....RICER!!!!

Well, I seafoamed my TA yesterday, and there wasn't much smoke at all..What gives>? I guess it just wasn't that dirty in there. Cars got 42k on it and I've never seafoamed it before. One weird thing happened that I don't know if it had any adverse effect on the process. My friend was working the TB as I was pouring, and when I went to turn the car off, he kept opening the tb(not knowing I turned off the car), so the car was running with the key out
.I guess it was dieseling since the motor was hot and the seafoam was in the chambers along with a rush of fresh air? I let it sit for 15 min then fired it up, it smoked, but not like my 97 saturn did. It would only put out a plume when you blipped the throttle, at idle, there wasn't much at all.
