Thumbs up Sea Foam

So my car had been having problems with idling and such. It had turned off on me twice already in the last 3 months when i had came to a stop. 80% of the time my idling was jumping from 700-400 or it would drop all the way down to 300 rpms so i was like fawk...however i knew it also had something to do with the lt's egr delete and not having my car tuned. I also thought it was my aic. My aic had messed up on me at about 37k miles so i simply cleaned it up last time. So that was one of my possible problems. Well on my way to autozone to pick up some oil for my dads chevy, i remembered hearing good things about sea foam, so i was like what the hell, its only 7 bucks and also decided to buy some carb cleaner to clean my aic. Well, i tried the sea foam first, using a vacuum line, put a whole can, hammered the gas and watched the show. a few minutes later, my idle was fixed and its been fine all this day and running alot smoother. Didn't even have to clean my aic. In short, Sea Foam is a great product @ a great price.
...so don't hesitate to run a can through your car for a quick clean.

Works pretty well, although you might want to change your oil to get all that carbon that you blew off out of your oil in your engine .

They make a product that you add to the fuel tank too.

yeah, well i read the sea foam tutorial and it said that u can pour it into your gas tank, and i was asking if u should do it on a low tank of gas only, or if it matters, full, half, or low???
