Re: multiple misfire after seafoam
i dont recall what p0300 is but i know that seafoam can kick up a ton of carbon, especially if its been a long time since using it or your first time. that stuff can cake up on the spark plugs and bridge the plug. switch out your plugs and you should be fine. not very common, but not unheard of.2000 3.8L Camaro A4 Pewter Y87<br />K&N Filter, SLP Ram Air kit, Eibach Pro Kit, Flowmaster 80 series, Silverstars, NGK plugs and MSD Super Conductor Wires, Electric Water Pump

Re: multiple misfire after seafoam
Yeah I decided to change my plugs anyway but I noticed an oil spot under my car. My car has never leaked oil before and now after seafoaming it there's oil under my car. When I was changing the plugs I noticed oil on the passenger side of the engine. I'm not sure if its coming from where under the head. But take a better look tomorrow when there's sunlight out.<a href=\"http://www.fbodyelpaso.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.fbodyelpaso.org</a> A4 stock 3.42 and LSD not Y87,SLP cold air induction, whisper lid, k&n filter, flowmaster 80 series, hypertech, 160 powerstat thermostat, t/a front bumper, functional nostrils, pacesetter headers best et: 15.9 at about 4800ft

Re: multiple misfire after seafoam
someone correct me if im wrong but i would think the seafoam got rid of some "gunk" that help the oil leaks in place and now that its gone.........i might be wrong but yea the misfire is the plugs that are fouled

Re: multiple misfire after seafoam
Yeah I got a better look at it today and the oil seems to be coming from the rear of the passenger side head gasket.<a href=\"http://www.fbodyelpaso.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.fbodyelpaso.org</a> A4 stock 3.42 and LSD not Y87,SLP cold air induction, whisper lid, k&n filter, flowmaster 80 series, hypertech, 160 powerstat thermostat, t/a front bumper, functional nostrils, pacesetter headers best et: 15.9 at about 4800ft
