Help with seafoam...

[anthonytw]

Has anyone used seafoam with a 2001 (or close) Altima? As soon as I disconnect the hose from the air filter to the throttle body I hear the vacuum start sucking and then my car stalls. How do I get around this?

my neighbor had that kind of problem with his camry and he tried plugging the vaccum and that worked for his car, but i dont know about an altima.

The engine dies because disconecting the hose bypasses the Mass Air Flow Sensor. Send email to Sea Foam and ask them. While your writing, ask them to provide all their documentation from manufacturers that recomend or approve Sea Foam. Their advertisement doesn't claim they have a single one, not even Evinrude. Only that more than one mechanic has chose Sea Foam for more than 50 years. Sounds like snake oil to me. Use it on lawn mowers and outboard motors keeping in mind that like WD-40, it is flamable. Don't try to put it inside an automotive engine.
