RUNNING SEA FOAM THROUGH MY 4TH GEN CAMARO

My 4th gen Camaro Z28 is 26 years old and has 229,000 miles on it. I think it could use some cleaning power of Sea Foam 🙂.

Personally, I recommend Berryman's fuel system cleaner. Seafoam was designed for 2 stroke outboard motors with oil in the fuel. That said, it would probably work great on a cr250. Nice Camaro too, probably needs an Italian tune up.

[@speedracerjeff]

Agree. Berryman B12 Chemtool is awesome stuff. Way stronger than Seafoam and BG44K. Seafoam is sooooo overrated lol

[@waterloo123100]

Marvel mystery oil or nothing

[@beastboiiskates]

That transition to the car wash was so nice though!

[@speedracerjeff]

I recommend Berryman… Berryman B12 Chemtool is wayyy stronger stuff than Seafoam or BG44K. Makes Seafoam seem like child’s play when you see which one actually cleans intake valves and combustion chambers better.

[@goldenmanuever1176]

I bought an LT1 Camaro slight used almost 30 years ago. I am in shock how long it has been. These are nice cars. The 1996 is the first year of the OBDII. The O2 sensors get a little "jazzed up" when you induce that much fluid into the intake. They sense that and the CEL comes on. All I do is clear it and your good to go. Mystic Teal Metallic wasn't that popular but looks refreshing here.

[@dnegel9546]

I had to use the wire before like you found to test if my fans would come on. More then likely the owner forgot about it. As far as temps. I did a full flush about 4x😅. And ran nothing but water until i could get all that dexcool out of the system. Switch to the green stuff and used water wet. My temps never go above the middle line. Im still on stock temp thermostat. I used the method on (shbox) for cleaning/replacing the coolant.

[@markovich3605]

Love that 96 Z28! Weird about that wire. Probably the overheating issue. The needles like to get hot then cool off. Freaks me out on mine too, but definitely normal hahaha cant wait to see more of this Z28. Love the seat pattern too. Keep up the awesome videos.

[@hasbeengood]

Definitely one of the best things you can do, especially on second had cars. Good move.

[@ReynoldsRides]

👍👊

[@surfjat15]

let us know how the car runs in the next few weeks ! i’m willing to bet all that sea foam the mpg will go up and it will run loads better ! i can’t wait to do this to my 93 z28 adter i give her a tune up and throw my long tube headers in

[@ReynoldsRides]

So far, so good. She’s running great.

[@speedracerjeff]

Try a can of Berryman B12 Chemtool in your fuel tank. Then see how awesome it runs on the Berryman. Thank me later…. Lol

[@KVUSA77]

The carbon deposits may have temporarily fouled the o2 sensors. This also happens sometimes when jet hot coating or ceramic coating on exhaust manifolds or headers residues burn off and ruin o2 sensors.

[@4thgenZ28]

That temp would make me really nervous. I have had several 4th gens and none of them has made it to that last hash unless it was on its way to overheating. Most of the time it would be right in the middle and that still made me nervous lol. One of my first mods to each of them was changing to a cooler thermostat and turning the fans on at earlier temps. Just for the kicks of it I would bleed the system one last time and hey, you can even do a video on it to show how to properly bleed the air out because that is a huge topic on these cars. Also I am sure you are aware but since I noticed it on the video I have to comment about it lol. The metal bracket on the back of the fuel door is to hold your gas cap while fueling. As always a great video that's educational, and always love the scenery there.

[@ButtonUpSystems]

how can do exactly this? i have done the thermostate but how do i get the fans to come on sooner?

[@4thgenZ28]

@@ButtonUpSystems You can do it a couple of ways. You can reprogram the computer to turn them on earlier, or you can purchase a manual fan switch to where you can turn them on whenever you choose to.

[@miker4617]

Where did your family member get that dash pad?

[@ReynoldsRides]

I don’t remember but if you Google it, a few options come up.

[@Jpilgrim30]

You can get one on Amazon these days for $170. It’s an actual replacement too not a cover.

[@kennygibbs9627]

I used it in my 89 Corvette, just fuel tank only.

[@FactoryZ]

Looks like the Camaro driven by De Niro in Heat 🤔

Hey I just picked one up today, it ran for a while yesterday but it won't start now. It sat for 3 years, where's a good place to start troubleshooting?

[@lilrico-ey8qq]

I put it in the vacuum lines idk but worked for me

[@1984C4Corvette_DIY_Garage]

I have been going over this idea on my high mileage 84 Vette. Aside from the light, do you have any other issues when you use Seafoam? Thanks. Great channel!

[@TheLito877]

The color of the Camero changed?

[@drufetti510]

No he picked up another one

[@joshuarickerson7893]

What website do you use to find your z28?

[@ReynoldsRides]

ksl.com

[@FocusMerks]

I need to do the same i just picked up a 95 camaro

[@SilverBullet93GT]

maybe they should sell an exhaust bypass valve with the seafoam, so we don't break the o2 sensors

[@keithhernandez4319]

My 95 camaro 3.8 temp gets alittle above the center line. Never use to but 24 yrs of me driving it it’s now doing it. Is that normal with 152,000 miles

[@waterloo123100]

Do a coolant flush

[@dnegel9546]

Well your supposedbto change coolant at 100k miles. And if yours has dexcool i would suggest getting completely rid off that gm junk. Ichanged mines to the green stuff + water wet. After doing a full flush and clean of the system. My car temp does not go above the middle line no matter how long i sit idling. And im on stock thermostat.

[@keithhernandez4319]

@@dnegel9546it don’t have dex cool it’s been flushed afew times.

[@dnegel9546]

@@keithhernandez4319 you tried water wet?

[@keithhernandez4319]

@@dnegel9546 no but I’m gonna have my head gaskets replaced . And they will flush it again.

[@AbadaWeeeeeeee]

The water pump is just a metal housing. So many scam repair shops out there

[@871jamie]

My temp gauge reads the same before the fans come on. GM did this by design I’m told. It’s unnerving but normal I’m told.
