Please no seafoam.......

It might have had its day with carburated motors....but not with efi.....

Why why why is it you guys like that junk.....its paint thinner, Naptha, and kerosine.......it has no properties on disolving carbon at all...hopefully you change the oil....

The proper products that can be used are Techron, Gumout with Regane, Berrymans b12

I see way to many motors that have been puckered by seafoam along with o2 sensors and cats......

Ford endorses Techron......any of the three I mentioned work but just run them through the fuel system and DON'T RUN IT IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER HOSE!>>>reason? Unused puddles of the cleaner can sit on gaskets surfaces and eat away at them.....prolong exposure to the plastic in the intake manifold can soften the plastic....

Never ever run more than the recommended amount per fuel tank capacity......running too much of any of the fuel system cleaners can effect the o2s and cats....

I'm with 88, Techron or B12. I've never used the other one. Seafoam is only good at removing water (from the isopropyl alcohol) and even that is limited.

well, truck died n just got towed of the expressway
i was getting on the expressway and accelerating and right bout 50 mph n lost all power, she dropped to about 800 rpm's, no response when pushing the accelerator pedal... pulled off the side and she was runnin' very rough like on 2 cylinders or somethin and shakin' a bit...
turned her off n now won't start.
you all think it could be something w/ the programmer? had it on level 2
did notice a lil extra tickin noise this morning but would go away w/ a rise on rpm's
placed it back to stock
hooked up to a snap on 2500 computer and shows no codes, says fuel pressure is 40 psi, removed plug and she has spark, the injector flashed
any ideas? i'm at a loss
