Archived from groups: alt>autos>toyota>trucks (more info?)
Finally Sea Foam engine decarbonizer products are available in Canada
through Carquest and UAP/NAPA auto parts stores.Well I pickup up two
cans of Sea Foam engine engine treatment (473 ml) part # SF16 C=$12+tx
each and one can of Sea Foam Deep Creep (340g) part # DC14 C=$13+tx
each (deep penetrating lube & throttle body/AFM cleaner safe on O2
sensor & TPS).

I asked the UAP/NAPA front counter person about using them and I was
not confident with his knowledge on using this product so I emailed
Sea Foam Sale Company:

http://www.seafoamsales.com

and haven't heard back yet.My questions to you all are:

1)Should I pour Sea Foam engine treatment in the throttle body (should
I park at ground level or incline?) or through the PCV valve or brake
booster vacuum line?.Reason I ask it says "if vehicle is port
injected",is the 22R-E port injected?.When restarting 5 minutes later
should I let it idle or rev the RPMs?.

2)When pouring 1/3 to 1/2 of can into the engine oil (as stated on
their website) should I do this just before an oil change? or can I do
it now even though I still have about 3000 KM before next oil change?.
3)How much gasoline should be in a 65 liter gas tank when pouring 1/3
to 1 full can of Sea Foam engine treatment?.

The vehicle in question is 1995 Toyota 4-Runner,4 cylinder EFI (22R-E
engine),with 65 liter gas task,4 liter engine oil pan,with about 225
000 KM.It takes many turns of engine cranking before starting cold,she
idles rough,misses on the highway specially under load.

Have you done a tune up? Missing under load can be a sign of bad spark
plugs. Has the plug wires been changed?

Sea Foam seems to be a versatile decarbonizer that can be used in many
different ways, at least according to the "gas engine application"
instruction page:

http://www.seafoamsales.com/motorTuneUpTechGas.htm

Its MSDS lists the following as ingredients:

1 PALE OIL 4229 40-60%
2 NAPHTHA 20 25-35%
3 IPA 125 10-20%

I've read good results with Sea Foam. For the average driver, I
personally would prefer Chevron's Techron (FI cleaner, 4 bottles/~$10
at Costco). Polyether amines (PEA) is described as an ashless
dispersant, not a solvent, so Techron can be used in the tank instead
of through the throttle body/fuel injectors because it not only
affects rubber less but also cleans out sulfur corrosion (makes fuel
gauges go haywire). Dunno about the 3 foam ingredients above.


Chevron Texaco polyether amines, page 11:
http://www.chevrontexacoretirees.org/linerider/lineriderissue9.pdf

"Once in the cylinder, Techron does what no other DCA does as well,
according to Peter: it decomposes to minimize any residue or deposit
being left behind."

I've used sea-foam with great results on my old toyota. What I did
was drink about 10 beers and then go outside (this is important as
your neighbors are going to be really annoyed at you smoking out your
neighborhood (you probably won't be able to see more then 20 feet if
its anything like mine) then I just put a vacuum line onto an unused
vacuume port and got a buddy to hold down the gas and put the other
end of the line into the seafoam can. The can gets drained fast and
the motor bogs down then afterwards it comes back up and theres no
smoke.... at least thats how mine went.

Hope this helps
