I went to Autozone today and picked up some seafoam, but all they had was the deep creep aerosol can. I searched here and the :batman: board and I could not find too many refrences to the aerosol type, just another type. Is this the same stuff? or should I make another trip to Autozone to exchange it?
The only one I have used is a can about the size of an aerosol paint can, but it has a screw top.
O'reilly's has the liquid stuff.
I've used both liquid and the deep creep. The deep creep is actually easier to regulate the amount of to ensure you don't kill the car prematurely. It is the same chemical in a different delivery.
+1 it even says it on the can "Deep Creep" is Seafoam in a spray can"
I have found though that the last 1/5th usually runs out of propellant and remains wasted in the can.
That being said its real easy just to poke the spray nozzle in and start spraying.
Where and how did you put it in?Quote:

On the 1.6, the nipple is front top center (above where the TB attaches)... not sure where the 1.8 nipple is.Quote:

Wow... Did you forget? You are getting old... The whole thing went down on your property, with your blessing. I'm pretty sure you even participated in the flogging that took place just after the nipple spraying. ::Angel::Quote:

You will know it easily, I used the one that is close to the opening on the intake manifold for the 2001, it has a brass/bronze connector on the manifold. If you pull the wrong one the car will simply die and not fire, the proper one will allow the car to keep running when disconnected, and you will spray the deep creep in the tube.
Can't learn unless you try, right?
I haven't used it on teh Miata, but the better part of a can of seafoam into teh throttle body of the Suburban pretty much totaly made the knocking go away.. I was figuring it might help a little, but WOW.. the difference was night and day...
of course.. somewhere near 180,000miles may have made a difference..
Can you use seafoam on a carborated motor? Thinking it might help the Nissan Valdeez.
Most certainly, just pour it slowly into teh carb.. slow enough to keep it form stalling...Quote:
