running seafoam...

i am a big believer of seafoam, i have used it in all my cars and actually made my wrx run sooo much better!!! But how am i to run it in my 7 since the mass air flow sensor is so low? Do i run it through a vaccuum line, if so which one? Thanks

Do a search for "seafoam". I remember seeing some pictures showing where to put it. If I recall correctly, it was on one of the two vacuum lines running to the back of the throttle body.

You could use your brake booster line but I can't pull mine off.. It's glued on there.

well thanks 2xrx7! seafoam is a liquid you can either put in your gas or through your intake and what it does is gets all the **** out of your lines, it just cleans stuff out. If your car is really dirty or not so greatly taken care of, you can really tell a difference afterwards. Its a good thing to do every now and then, just go to a local auto store and pick some up its only like 5.95 for a big bottle here

Seafoam is dilutted acetone. Atleast from what I understand. It removes gunk and carbon buildup from engines.
