mine did the same, seafoam isnt as combustible as gas, so the computer is seeing a missfire. give it some time and the light will clear itself as long as the engine is running normally

oh ok... yeah actually after the SES light flashed for a few seconds it went off and never came back on, so then i ran the hell out of it... i fig'd everything was ok i was just making sure...
btw it was hilarious to see the look on ppl's faces when i passed them and all that smoak was coming out... everybody had a look on their face like "oh man his car is f**cked up" hahaha
