AL Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 I just seafoamed my 03 Gp using the brake booster line and it sucked up the whole can in about 3 seconds and killed the engine and shot the can off the booster line like a rocket... Then I started the car and let it smoke for a bit and took it for a spin and now its shifting hard and clinks into every gear including overdrive... What happened? Quote
Night Fury Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 WTF YOU USED THE WHOLE CAN?!?!??!?! Quote
AL Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Posted November 9, 2009 I didnt mean to! It just sucked it up instantly instead of slowly like on my friends 01 GA and his 06 G6... Quote
tunerlover3 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 It doesnt sound related to what you did. Quote
mra32 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 maybe you just have so much powarz now Quote
Night Fury Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 I didnt mean to! It just sucked it up instantly instead of slowly like on my friends 01 GA and his 06 G6... I always pour the correct amount into a separate cup... Quote
5speedz34 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 FWIW: I usually only use a 1/3 to a 1/2 a can. The rest should go into the gas tank or save for next time. You need to be careful putting it in because pouring it in too fast can hydrolock the motor. Quote
4door Intl Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 maybe you just have so much powarz now This created loooling at my computer. Quote
RobertISaar Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 depending on how much cash is on my pocket is what determines wether i go the full can or half... but goddamn, the whole thing in 3 seconds? Quote
RobertISaar Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Is that even possible? i'll work the math, how much is in the can? Quote
RobertISaar Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 with 16oz gone in 3 seconds, that comes out to .33204 cubic feet per minute.... yeah, it's possible if the vacuum line is big enough... Quote
AL Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Posted November 9, 2009 I used the brake booster line and after letting the car sit it isn't shifting bad at all and everything seems fine... Ill update again after another drive Quote
RobertISaar Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 did you start it with the booster already disconnected, or did you pull it while it was already running? Quote
AL Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Posted November 10, 2009 Had the booster disconnected then stick it in the bottle then dyseyed it and waited for it to die then connected it and started it and let it idle for a bit then drove it Quote
RobertISaar Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 maybe the ECM was throwing a fit due to the previous ignition cycles MAP reading... wouldn't be the first time i've seen it... Quote
5speedz34 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Next time, get a funnel and pour it in. Quote
89SupremeCutty Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Next time, get a funnel and pour it in. that's what i do. Quote
SigEpCutlass Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Next time, get a funnel and pour it in. that's what i do. I can't imagine why you would do it any other way, and you really don't ever need to use more than 1/2 of the can. Quote
rockfangd Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 wow. lucky the engine did not get damaged Quote
AL Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Posted November 11, 2009 Yep I definitely learned a lesson... I did it again but used a funnel and got about 45 seconds of smoke Quote
rockfangd Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Yep I definitely learned a lesson... I did it again but used a funnel and got about 45 seconds of smoke hopefully on a different car. too much seafoam will foul plugs Quote
