When you do this is it suppose to try to stall as it is being sucked in? The reason I ask is because it didn't. It was only trying to stall when it wasn't suctiong anything but air.

My experience has been that it is necessary to increase throttle from idle as the Seafoam is being sucked in because the car does want to stall. Then, just as you are at the end of the Seafoam, release throttle back to idle and stall. Absent that, just turn car off when Seafoam is gone and let it sit. How long did it take to suck all that out?

Could I have a vacuum leak somewhere and that'* the reason it wasn't trying to stall when it was suction up the Sea Foam? Ideal was smoothing out while sucking it up and it was trying to stall when it wasn't :?
I recently replaced all the vacuum fittings on both ends of the lines that go to the trottle body.

I gave the car another dose today. Since it didn't want to stall when I induce the sea foam (either time) I had my daughter turn the car off as it was drinking the last of it. Then I let the car sit for 20 mins (I did not do that the first time). It took me three tries to get the car to start and when it did it smkoed like a chimney It didn't last long but it did it. So I went for a ride and I think I did it right this time

Yeah it seems on most vehicles I have to have somebody in the vehicle to shut it off... it typically doesn't want to stall for me either.
BTW, nifty can
