CRC throttle body cleaner. Unbolt your throttle body from the intake (4 bolts and one vacuum hose with a clip, plus the electrical connector) and clean the front AND backside of the blade with the spray and a rag. While doing this, have fuse 10 and fuse 28 in the underhood fuse box pulled, these are for the PCM. Once you've got the carbon off the TB put it back on and pop the fuses back in, and fire it up. PCM will now relearn the clean TB idle position and your idle will be smooth. This is the correct procedure for this service, I owned quite a few envoys and trailblazers with the 4.2, they're great engines

I have 193k miles on mine and the check engine light hasn't been on and no engine parts have been replaced. I like to prevent problems so they never happen. So anyone who is wondering how to keep an engine clean this is how I do it.

Also in my weed Wacker, lawn mower and all motorized things. If you put too much in it can do that to your car. My dad's old Chevy with 220k miles ran a little rough.

@@iLouieTube Gotcha, use what works for your car. I use MMO and have not had to use anything else because it keeps everything clean. It seems to not let carbon build up.

In short I guess, I use it as a maintenance/ prevention tool and seems to work for all my stuff, including all my air tools, knives and mechanical things. Glad what you do works for you.

Your catalytic converter will fail early from all those additives. I saw it over and over as an auto tech. Gasoline alone has plenty of additives.

Nice..I did this to a 2006 Wrangler that idled so bad the dashboard vibrated. The Seafoam did ok. However, I had big success with the Deep Creep from the same company. Used it the same way, I was even able to clean the idle air valve. I put the whole can in through the intake even after the engine stalled. I waited 45 minutes, and it did not want to start at first. But when it did, it was hitting on 2 cylinders at first. After it stabilized, I took it out and spanked it. Rough at first, then after 5 miles, it was blowing blue and black smoke, then all of a sudden the power was back, no smoke acceleration was like the day I first got it. Power to spare.

It's because it cleaned the throttle body. Sea foam is made for 2 cycle engines that's why you have the smoke is because the oil in it. You can use it to clean the throttle body without the engine running. As a mechanic of 27+ years I don't use it unless the engine is off. Now you have created a sticky residue that will just cause the gunk to build back up even faster. My opinion only. Do what you wanna but it will damage the catalytic converter

Many products are like this... Seafoam is just the name brand OG. However, to save some dollars get the SuperTech version and put a can in your gas tank, a can in your crankcase, and a can in the brake booster (same as throttle body basically) and it'll clean EVERYTHING thoroughly. Same process as this. Except then change your oil in aboutr 200-300 miles. If you've got bad oil burning, try soaking the piston heads themselves with it a few times a day by opening up the spark plug wells and pouring about a half cup per cylinder once in morning, noon, and night. Then run it the next morning. It'll fix those rings!

The GM direct injection engines have carbon buildup issues due to the EGR valve dumping oily exhaust gas back into the intake. In normal fuel injection engines the injectors spray upstream of the valves and the gasoline largely dissolves the oily residue but in the GDI engines that stuff hardens up into carbon deposits on the backs of the valves and eventually causes performance issues. There is a GM TSB about this where they will fog a Delco branded product into the intake while the engine is running to do what this clip is showing being done with the sea foam.

Sea Foam has many uses I started using it about 15 years ago with great success I also have used Marvel mystery oil and that works very well for lifter noise and sticky Piston rings by reducing oil consumption

[@joetate87]

Seafoam is practically magic

[@jmitschke69]

I have been putting Sea Foam down the brake booster vacuum line for years, and it truly makes a difference in how good your vehicle runs. Not to mention it smokes a whole lot more!

[@Oto_Travel]

Works great in snowmobiles. Clean ‘em right up

[@briankissel7661]

Cool, now the Envoy can be an Envoy.

Bought a Camaro that sat for 11 years in a barn. Idled really rough. Put 2 bottles of sea foam with a quarter tank of gas and let it idle for an hour. Runs perfectly fine now.

Sorry officer, the can of Seafoam told me to drive aggressively through that school zone."

[@nicholaspiscitelli7685]

It's great for the lawn mowers when the carburetors get Varnished.

I’ve used that upper cylinder cleaner on a few cars and it worked wonders. It’s the only mechanic in a bottle I trust

[@peterpaul1799]

Personally, I recommend pulling out and cleaning injectors. My v6 ranger used to idle super rough and started hard after long drives until I cleaned and rebuilt the fuel injectors. Now it starts and runs great all the time. I ran many cans of seafoam through that ranger and they would make a slight difference but it's just a bandaid on the bigger problem. Just my 2 cents.

Seafoam is a great product for very high mileage trucks!

[@andrewharris9302]

Lucas works best imao. Sea foam works pretty good tho

[@alanmccooker7829]

I put a can of Seafoam for high mileage vehicles in my 04 f150. It’s the can with black and gold markings. It knocked carbon off and increased my mileage by almost 70 miles. But that’s highway and keeping it between 55-60 mph.

Gets pulled over “The mechanic told me to drive aggressively 🤓”

[@The-Ordinary-Man]

Ha! Next on Craigslist..... "runs perfectly"..... LOL

[@SJNFAB]

PUT IT IN THE FUEL TANK WHEN LOW SO IT CLEANS INJECTORS.. ALSO ONE IN THE WARM ENGINE OIL RIGHT BEFORE A CHANGING.. 👍

[@seanpinson9030]

It worked for me too after buying plugs purge valve pcv valve coils and changing motor mounts 3 times I have an elantra and it had a shaky idle it was driving me nuts then I tried the Lucas gdi cleaner and my car isn't gdi. Oh I also cleaned the throttle body till you could eat off it but nothing did it but seafoam. I had so much smoke the police came because they thought my car was on fire then when it stopped smoking I drove it. Then once I got in a safe place and drove a little aggressive and when I did another cloud a block long came out of my exhaust. Seafom is awesome don't care how many times scotty Kilmer says it's for outboard motors it works on car engines too I promise

The Ole Italian tune-up.

[@brentmcardle2875]

The throttle body of the gm 4.2 liter junks up with oil and can cause the motor to stall when turning on the ac. Where you put the sea foam straw, it cleaned the part I am talking about. Sea foam is great and will clean up the spark plugs and valves.

[@ohshiznitz1927]

A guy in the auto parts store sold me a can of "New Car in a Bottle". I asked "Does this stuff really work?"😃" He said yeah, so I said "Great! I don't even have a car, and now I'll have a new one!"

[@josephviar1950]

Seafoam works wonders I have a chrysler 300 the motor was knocking and making all kinds of noise I put a while can in the motor oil and ran it for about a week before I changed the oil and now it runs so smooth and doesn't make any noise at all it had a lifter tick and a rod knock before I put seafoam in it

[@SGTJDerek]

Seafoam flat works. Doesn't matter which product you use. This stuff does what gas used to do. Cleans off the backside of those values. The unintended consequences of Fuel Injection. ESPECIALLY Direct Injection.

[@baconintheoven4717]

What does sea foam do and what is it?

[@the1andrewwarner]

you can put it thru your brake booster vacuum line too !!

[@tonymai1844]

You run the engine to hot up. Idling the engine. Spray the seafood before the throttle plate until the engine dies out. Open the intake boot at throttle b9dy, Keep spraying little more before throttle plate and fill up whole throttle and inside the plenum. Put the intake hose back and wait over night and let the sea foam work. Next day start up and drive to clear out the cleaner. Cold exhaust won't damage the cat. Your idle will be very smooth. Intake valves all clean.
