Default should i seafoam???

i've noticed a lot of threads have started concerning misfires and the things of that nature and my car has been needing a tune-up anyway and now i suspect that i might have a misfire. but i was planning on seafoaming the car before changing the plugs and wires since there is the chance that they will foul out. but if i already have a misfire would it still be ok to seafoam before the tune-up? i apologize in advance if i'm showing my stupidity, lol. but thanks.

it wont fix the misfire, but the seafoam will still go into a cylinder thats misfiring so yea go ahead and do it.

My 94 has over 108k on it and i seafoam it everytime i come home on leave, so about twice a year. Your not going to hurt anything if you do it right, just poor it SLOWLY into the brake booster hose wile the car is running and you will be fine. Might also need someone to keep there foot on the peddle so the car doesnt stall.

Well with 106K if it has never been done you should notice quite a difference.
