I bought some seafoam and sprated it into the vacuum line at the pvc valve as instructed.
I was told to spray until the engine died, then let it sit for a while. My engine never died. It slowed a bit but never died. How much do I need to spray before it dies, and am I spraying it into the correct place?

Oh yeah...I am spraying it into the nipple that attaches to the small hose on the right side of the engine. I removed the hose clamp and hose, then inserted the spray can straw and let 'er go.

Also, should I buy another can for my next oil change (Which will be tomorrow)
Thanks

I used a product called engine flush, that pours straight into the oil. The can doesnt have a screw on lid or anything, you have to open it like you would canned food, or pineapple juice, with a triangular can opener AKA screwdriver.

This stuff cleaned me up nice. You run it in park for 5 minutes and then complete an oil change. The oil is super thin now, and drains fast, so watch out.

This smoothed out my idle and gave me some peace of mind.
