          !!!!VERDICT: ICM & fuel filter. ICM was shorting out a cam sensor, so I had a bad cam sensor and bad ICM. And the fuel filter was just kinda dirty.

          So I think this was an act of ______(insert supreme being here) and a just a stroke of bad luck that happened on the EXACT same startup as seafoaming.

                Yep, seems to be over, I took a 50 mile ride right after the shop just to make sure.

                So in the end, while I can't blame the seafoam, I can't rule out the possibilty that it did SOMETHING, however minute it was to contribute to the failure.

                PS: I hate cam sensors, everytime I have been stranded in a car, its been cause of a stupid cam sensor.
