I know this has been talked about before, but I could not find the thread. I just seafoamed my Av after 30k miles. i used about 12Oz's of Seafoam. My Av was not happy having it forced into her manifold. She smoked and idled funny while i was doing this. Kinda like forsing cough medicine down your kids throat. Afterwards she smoked for about 5 minutes, but dam she runs so much better. I figured the more she smoked the more crap she was bunring off. She is not smoking anymore and has a lot more get up an go. I really need to remember to do this more often.
If you have not done this I highly recommend it. Just disconnect the Vacuuming tube that connects to the Master brake cylinder. Use a funnel that fits in the hose. Keep the truck running, it will have a hard time keeping idle, so pour the Seafoam in very slowly. Don't do to much at once or it will stall the engine. Smoke will start coming out of the tailpipe immediately, don't worry it is just the carbon on the valves burning off. After you are done, just plug the hose back into its home and you are done. I recommend driving around a little to get the rest of the carbon smoke out.
This is one of those things you would do after cleaning your MAF and filter.
Hope this is helpful.
