Re: Engine not starting after small amount of Seafoam. (atmospheric SOUL)
i just seafoamed my car. i poured a third of it into a plastic cup and SLOWLY let it vacuum in. i never stuck the entire outlet into the cup. i would dip in about an eighth of the outlet. this is done by tilting the cup. it took about 3-5 minutes to suck up 5oz. the key is to let it go in slowly (SLOWLY, like what it says on the bottle).
i poured another third into my engine and another third into the gas tank. afterwards i hit the freeway on ramps a handful of times.
car runs a tad bit smoother now. i dont think i would have noticed anything if i was a passenger.
no problems like what ive read in other posts...and no day and night differences like what ive read in other posts.
maybe i poured it in toooo slow.

Re: Engine not starting after small amount of Seafoam.
Years old.... I'm guessing you got the issue fixed since you never came back and updated anyone? It's always good to post the end result to at least help others in similar situations down the road. I can't stand when people desert threads once they have their problems solved.
