  • Throttle body cleaner

    I did the search but came up empty. Newbie needs instructions on how to clean the throttle body. I bought Seafoam, the kid you pour in a vacuum line. Somebody please give me a walk -thru? I'm a lil' nervous about using this stuff.

    Thanks,

    It's really hard to clean out your TB with that. It does a much better job of cleaning your intake via vacuum lines. I was going to buy a spray bottle to clean the TB with Seafoam.

      I actually was looking for the spray. The kid at the counter said you pour 3/4 of the bottle in the vacuum line till the engine starts to chug. Then let it sit for awhile, drive down a country road blowing smoke and your done. ???????????

        Yep, exactly. But before you drive you pour the rest into the oil. Then take another whole can and pour it into the gas tank. Then there's a spray can called "Seafoam Deep Creep intake cleaner" that you use to clean the TB and intake; You take off the intake from the TB, start the car, rev the engine at WOT, spray about half the can into the TB, shut car off and wait, then DRIVE [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
