Really Quick Ques About SeaFoam

[BootyDo]

Hello,

I realize this is kind of a weird thread, but I figure with all the knowledge on these boards, it can't hurt to ask.

I was going to SeaFoam my truck today but unfortunately, I'm the only one around, (got off for the week!). Is there anyway I can SeaFoam by myself? I was under the impression if a hose wasn't connected, it would stall out - kind of defeating the purpose.

You could do this yourself. You could turn the throttle by hand under the hood if it looks like it's going to stall.

Thanks for the quick reply BB! But i think I'm stuck. I removed plastic cover and started the car with everything intact. Then, I pulled the IAC hose - stalled. Is that the part in the process where it needs more gas? Also, would it just be easier if I rigged the IAC hose to sip the SeaFoam through a straw? That way, I could start the card and let the suction take the SeaFoam from the get-go.

IAC doesnt have a hose. Do you mean PCV hose?

Just start it up, pop the brake booster line off and partially cover it with your thumb. Heres an example.
