Default Seafoam through vacuum lines

I want to run seafoam through my car, i already did the gas tank and crankcase. I read up on doing it through the vacuum lines, but I don't know where to put it in, or how to properly do it (But I have a general idea). I am doing it on a 1995 honda accord ex with the f22b1. I'm not actually sure where the vacuum line is. If anyone can describe the location, or take a picture of it, or even post a video of the same make and model of my vehicle, I would greatly appreciate it. I read an article on how to do it, and how much, just not sure where it is I put it.

Alright the line I use is for the brake booster. Just did it last night actually. Its on the driver side of the car I guess you could say by the firewall. If you need a pic let me know.

Wow! Just ran it through it little while ago, and after I turned it off and let it sit for 20 minutes, turned it on and started rev'ing it, I could feel it get smoother and smoother. After the smoke stopped coming out, I took it for a test drive. It definately runs a lot smoother!

I never seem to have good results with my car when I run it lol. Barely any smoke comes out and it runs the same =( . Other cars I have done it on seem to have better results for me haha.

So after reading this post I decided to give my car the sea foam treatment and shot it in through the brake booster line as the engine was idling as described above.

Questions for ya...

How much should you squirt in and how long should you leave it there before running up the engine again?

Thanks!

i slowly slowly poured half of the bottle. if you pour too much you will hear the engine dying down, if it dies just turn it on again. i waited 20 mins the started and slowly revd up and down til no more smoke

My sea foam came in a aerosol spray...I don't think I put in as much as you. I don't have any real issues with the way the car is running I just did it because I had the sea the foam from another project and the car has a lot of K's on it and I don't know the history of the maintenance.

Will it be an issue to leave the sea foam in overnight?

Not that this is really related but I changed the fuel filter tonight too so I hit it with the foam while I was at it.
