Sea Foam Casualty

[TwistyTunedE30]

Well lastnite i went out to sea foam the car after i did a fuel filter, and synthetic oil change. I set the can up and went to go start the car, and apparently the can tilted too far and the brake booster line sealed to the can and the car swallowed the whole can. Yea i know brake booster was too large diameter, but ihave never had a problem with it on any of my cars before. It stalled the car, and i took out the plugs and cranked it over to launch all the excess out of the cylinders. I then put it all back and tried to fire it up and it was acting as if it was running on two cylinders. I thought i reversed the wires but with my 1342 setup i could only get the car running on what feels like 2 cylinders. It backfires like mad. So i got brand new plugs, swapped them in and its like i did nothing to the car at all, still runs like shit. I know i idle hydrolocked it, but i need some help with this. Could i have bent a valve, just enough to not make a pinging sound but enough to fuck up the way she runs? Thanks guys,

Isn't it nice to figure it out on your own? Without anyone being able to lame you out here.

Wait, you sucked it in through a brake booster line?

[TwistyTunedE30]

yes.

[stevofthahill]

You're supposed to either suck an entire bottle through a vacuum line to the intake manifold, pour half a bottle in your crankcase(change oil very soon after), and/or pour half into your gas tank. Most people do a combination of the three. But never have I heard of sucking it through a brake booster line.

where do you think the brake booster vac line goes....i only chose that because if done correctly it will sip off the can because it seals to the lid of the sea foam can. however my can fell over right when the motor started.

Lol, just never heard it referred to as the brake booster line, just as an intake mani vacuum line.

So note to everyone, don't use the brake booster line.
