no I put a small straw in the seafoam, and stuck the other end of the straw into the brake booster vacuum line!

Re: HELP!!! car died! (The Dirty EJ1)
I just took the line from the brake booster and barely held it above the surface of some Seafoam in a shallow container, if it sucked too much the engine would want to bog down and almost die but I just pulled it away from the surface untill the rpms got back up...I know that doesnt help you now but it seems that you might have got too much in at one time if the car cut out, Im not 100% sure if that's permanently bad or not but you had best start praying to the car gods that you aren't hydrolocked.

pull all the plugs and the fuse for the fuel pump. with the plugs out crank the car over several times. if you sucked in to much seafoam this will help clear the liquid from the cylinders. reinstall the plugs and the fuse try and start the car . Keep your fingers crossed

Check your main fuse in the under hood fuse box should be 80amps. did you clean all the battery terminals before you installed them?

If the dash lights aren't even comming up then its definately electrical, I thought it just wasn't starting. Best thing would be is to stick a volt meter on the battery and if its good start tracing it from the battery back to the ignition switch. Check your fuses, fusable links..I cant think of how it would be related to the seafoam though...

Re: HELP!!! car died! (MarcoLaMont)
yup check ur battery and keep an eye out for that 80amp fuse because that went on my boys integra and nothing worked since it doesnt let the battery give any power...
