Looking in my Haynes Manual, the PCV is NOT the black tube running into the intake pipe. It IS the black tube running down into the front valve cover (right behind the oilstick and to the right of the oil cap). The tube from the intake runs to the rear of the engine and smells like fuel. The worst part is that the Haynes Manual makes no mention of what that tube running into the intake is. Go figure

i was amazed, I used about 3/4 of a bottle on my car just yesterday, seems to rev quite a bit better and it sounds a bit healthier now too... didn't get much other than that.... be we used the last 1/4 of the bottle on my friend's old z24 89 cavalier and holy shit did that thing smoke... I gotta say though, his car sounds and feels like new now. this shit's awesome

So with a 2.4l you just tak off the intake and dumop this stuff intot he TB.

I had this done when I had an oil change right before I came on deployment. It worked really good. Smoked like crazy for a minute, but it eventually quit, and my idle got better and gas mileage improved also. i would recommend it for anyone who hasn't hade it done.

SeaFoam is the King buy / use / love it!

I have used it several times in engine oil, trans fluid, and in the gas tank, and I'm not see any more improvements from the first time I used it. Worked great the first time, and I got the smoke out of the exhaust and everything, but that's it. Still a good product just not worth using over and over again. I have the 2.4L and it is easier to just dump this stuff down the throttle body and rev with your hand to keep it running, because it will die if you don't.

it started to smoke a lot when i had it go through the vacuum hose but after that it was all it smoked

i guess i supposeably take good care of her minus the long awaited LIM leak heh. i was so ready for a cloud of smoke.

Pcv Line In Pic Above Is The Line Going To The Front Valve Cover To The Right Of The Oil Fill On 3.4

Sorry for bringing back an Old topic, but can someone draw me circles on a 2.4l on where I need to pour this stuff?

Just pour it down the throttle body its a lot easier that way. Just take the intake off and it right there. Once you start pouring make sure to work the throttle to keep her running cause she will want to die on you. Once you get it all in then let it sit for a little while and start it back up. The can has all the directions you will need, but for me the throttle body was the easiest.

i did the pcv valve... and it fits into the bottle like it was made for it.

...but i have the 3.4... so i can't tell ya where it is on the 2.4.

Nate's Alero · 05-01-2008, 03:44 PM

i really wanna do this now..

cherrington17 · 05-01-2008, 03:56 PM

you won't need to. you car probably wasn't run enough to really have anything built up.

i held off till i was sitting around 56k and i only got a little white smoke.

Nate's Alero · 05-01-2008, 03:58 PM

hmm as i only just passed the 37K mark i will save 6 bucks for gas...

cherrington17 · 05-01-2008, 04:06 PM

i'm not saying you CAN'T... it is only $6-$8. you probably won't see much for results. can't really hurt, but it probably won't help... so i'd wait till you notice your engine running a little slower, or your accel seems sluggish, or you just won a couple of bucks off a friendly wager.

Nate's Alero · 05-01-2008, 04:19 PM

oh i know i dont need it, well the way mt gramps used to drive he was like practically idling... idk ill see my times at the track tomorrow and see if their bad...

Hey everyone I see that this is a old topic but I was wondering something. My cousin recently got his car vandalized. One of the damages appears to be the vandals putting something into the gas tank (the car seems to be getting messed up and the gas lid was open when my cousin was viewing the damages). Would seafoam and draining all the old gasoline and oil help? Idk, Im guessing seafoam may clean the junk they put in the tank, out.

DONT START IT!!!! it sugared! you start it ittl die! drain all gas and oil CLEAN!!! SEAFOAM WONT WORK! your gas tank and make sure to also change your oil...

That's what I thought. Unfortunately, my cousin already started it and said he started to hear a small rattling from the engine. That's what led him to believe they put something in the tank. Well, I already told him not to use it anymore, to drain the oil and gas, and put a gas cap that recquires a key. Hopefully its not too late and the car is not completely messed up. Thanks for the info.
