Well i seafomed my 98 today, and the SES light is on. Is this just from the Seafoam being in the motor? NOt much smoke came out either....

Re: Just wondering...

did you add it to the gas tank? make sure the cap is on correctly.

Re: Just wondering...

Can you tell any noticeable difference with the cars performance for your SES light to be on? Go to your local Autozone and have them scan it so we can see what the code is.

Re: Just wondering...

i put it in the tank Monday when i filled up, then put it in the oil right before putting it in thru the brake line...

Re: Just wondering...

have you checked the plugs.

Re: Just wondering...

Check your plugs to see if they have fouled out (any of them) and also, go ahead and change your oil. Once you have changed your oil, drive around for another 50 or so miles and change it again.

Also, make sure that your brake line is on securely.

Re: Just wondering...

How about you have the code scanned

Re: Just wondering...

You said not much smoke came out after seafoaming it. After you let it idle for a little bit, did you take it out for spin? At that point not much smoke came out?

If it didn't, first thing I would like to know is how many miles are on your car? Maybe you just don't have muce carbon build up in your engine.

Secondly, maybe there is a problem with your exhaust, are you running stock cat, and how old is it? It could possibly be clogged up and not letting your exhaust come out as it needs too.

Re: Just wondering...

MAF sensor. they are expensive and very much needed

Re: Just wondering...

maf sensors / coil installs can be done by anyone with a wrench.
a coil alone costs $20-$48 at oreilly's
so they charged you about $133 just in labor, which it
would only take me like 10 minutes to change!
