Here is what another poster stated in a previous thread. I'm hoping to try it this weekend:
###Seafoam Proceedure####
A 5.0 is not the same as a V-6 I can't find a vacum line. Here's what you need to do.
1. Remove the air temperature sensor from the air intake hose, located in front of the throttle body.
2. Find a piece of flexible hose or tubing 6" to 12". 12" or longer works better
3. Buy a ketchup condiment dispenser with cone tip ( the kind you see at the hot dog vendor) Pour the seafoam into the dispenser
4. Remove the plastic throttle linkage cover
5. Start the engine it should idle without the sensor
6. Insert the tip of the dispenser into the tube/hose
7. Insert the tube/hose into the open air temperature hole and squeeze while you manually adjust the idle to keep the engine from stalling.
I did it today, lots of gray smoke lasted about 15 min. The X idles better and doesn't have as much hesitation when accellarating.
