Hey I got Seafoam and I want to put it through the vacuum hose. I have a 2.4L and I searched the forums but I can't quite find where the hose is located. A picture with it circled would help alot!

It's PCV. It's underneath the intake manifold, and if you have an aftermarket WAI or CAI it's the part the silicone hose connects to.

And I'll give a look at it tomorrow to see.

2.4s dont have one if you look at the front of the block right above the oil filter that plate you see there is the pcv for our cars it just separates the oil and the gases right in there and let the gases out thats all that does. For the seafoam you can disconnect the brake booster hose and run it there.

I've done it on mine several times and I just put it through the throttle body its alot easier. 2.4l doesn't have a PCV Valve as stated above.

What you're talking about is the PCV for the 2.4...that oil seperator is part of it, and it vents the crankcase into the intake, hence Positive Crankcase Ventilation.

I just did the seafoam through the Brake Booster, the part that connects to the aftermarket Short Ram, but no smoke came out like how you see on youtube.
