Default SEAFOAM Not working?

i tried using the Seafoam cleaner stuff the other week. i put about an estimate of 1/3 in the oil, 1/3 in the intake manifold and just alittle in the gas tank. i heard when using seafoam a big cloud of smoke comes out of your exhaust, but when i did it no smoke came out . Is this normal for some cars not to shoot out smoke? i have a d16z6 with 200k plus miles

Maybem you didn't have much carbon build up on top of your pistons and fuel system.

The smoke is caused from seafoam combustion and carbon in the cylinders. Did you get enough into the intake? Did you use the brake booster line, and add enough to make the car stall, then wait 5 min to restart?

If your intake and combustion chambers are clean, you will not see much smoke...

Must be driving your car correctly as well as keeping it in good tune.

Dude, If you got 200k on your Z6, You should see smoke. I hade tons. It might take more than one application. You need to put it in the intake and through the brake booster line.
