Default 95 lx, sea foam

ok i picked up a can of sea foam at napa today. Im not sure where to put it thru though. i think some 1 said thru the main vacuum line. others say brake booster?

I need help from people that have used it. Also, i just had a tune up about 3 weeks ago new spark plugs oil change fuel filter air filter, i read somewhere that u have 2 give it another oil change after u use sea foam? im confused. can some one give me some clarification.

when you suck it thru the brake boost and give the throttle a little tug every now and then to keep the motor from choking. then some smoke should be spewing out for a while.

well i only revved the engine twice after puttin in the sea foam i saw smoke come out but not as much as other members claim to come out of their tail pipe. i turned the car off came back 30 min later.

The car started fine. i reved it to see if smoke came out but nothing. i ran it like hell in the street but still no smoke.

Do you think i idnt use enough sea foam? i think i used like half a bottle on the vaccum valve and the other half in the gas tank.
