I used it also at the end of last summer, and it works GREAT. It lowered my idle, and my car ran a lot smoother. I really recommend it!

Seafoam is great. Steve uses it in the cars when they start running rough to help smooth things out. It usually works like a charm.

Combustion chamber conditioner, cleans all the gunk out of the motor.

I run a bottle through the intake vaccuum line. Some guys run it through the brake booster. Others put some into the oil right before their next oil change, and others put it into the fuel tank. There are a variety of methods of use for this stuff, but it comes right down to this: IT WORKS.

I did all 3, and it worked like a charm. It threw me a light for about 15 mins, but went away... most likely somthing got stuck and eventually got cleared out.

it's the same stuff as what gm dealers have called top engine clean (when a car goes into a dealer with a rough idle that is the first step they do)
