Hello,
I have been doing some cleaning and maintenance to try and get my explorer to run a bit better. I am going to clean the MAF and I thought I would try some seafoam as well. It is a bit unclear what the best method for using seafoam is. I probably won't add it to my oil since I use high quality oil and filters and change it every ~3500 miles or so. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to add a can to the gas tank so I will probably do that at some point unless someone tells me not to.
I have seen it introduced through the brake booster hose and also the spray version the is sprayed into the throttle body. Is one of these methods preferable? Is there any difference in how effective the cleaning is?
Does it make more sense for me to remove the throttle body and clean it manually instead of using seafoam?
If anyone knows of a writeup or video on cleaning the MAF on the 2002 v8, it would be great to have the link for that.
