Firstly, CHANGE THE OIL! As soon as you use seafoam, you HAVE to replace the spark plugs and change the oil. Seafoam is basically a non-lubricating liquid. If you still have it mixed in your oil, you're drying out your rings and not properly lubricating the motor.

And secondly, I don't think NGK Platinums are good for the GST (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Thirdly, how quickly did you suck down the bottle into the vacuum lines and which lines did you use? Seafoam is actually bad on gaskets in large quantities. That's why when going through the vacuum lines, you have to rev the car while sucking it in (not only to keep the motor from hydrolocking) but to get it in and out as quickly as possible.









ok thaks for the answers. but i put the sea foam in using the hose of the passive valve. and i dint change the oil till 2 days later. oh but theirs times when the car runs good and no shaking happens. but i tun it off an it happens again. how would i know if i have a boost leak how do you fix it?
