LOL n then drove off. hehehehe.

pics would help showing which hole/tube to pour into. Has anyone here tried Lucas Fuel injector in the gas tank and if so, how does it compare?

This goes in direct via the injectors to the pistons..Works better than Lucas, I used 2 cans and doubled the dosage when i got my car with (47k)@ first....


As far as the guy with the GS4...Try removing the hose closest to the TB. You should feel strong vacuum.

And as stated before by me, after you let it suck in through the vacuum wait a good hour at least...Let it do its work.

Wish Granted. I took this from the other pic sum1 posted on here already

here's the step by step what i did for my 1999 GS300
1) separate the SeaFoam into THREE (3) small see-thru cups of if u want to measure it out be my guest. I jus poured sum each cup til the bottle was empty and there was equal amounts in each cup.
2) start your engine. the line i used wasnt getting much suction even while revving it at 2000rpms so i jus used a funnel
3) while engine is running disconnect the hose i circled that has number 1 pointing to it, ur engine will start to hickup and sound lyk its gonna cut off but it wont.
4) grab a funnel that's small enuff to fit in the tube so u dnt spill it lyk i did
5) when pouring the seafoam in this hose it goes directly into ur intake manifold, and after u get that 1/3 of the seafoam in there ur engine will stall out and cut off.
6) a little bit of smoke puffed out of my exhaust wen the car cut off, when it cuts off leave it off
7) now pour one of the 2 cups u have left in the crankcase (circled item number 2)
8) after that i poured the last cup into the gas tank (arrow 3 pointing off the picture lol)
9) then i waited ten minutes, sum ppl said an hour but mainly just let it sit for a minute
10) the last thing to do is to start it back up, it took a while for my car to start at first so jus hold the ignition down till it starts. wen it starts you will puff hella smoke. i started revving my engine so i culd get all the smoke moving out quicker. then a youttube vid sed u shuld drive around at high rpms. and of course since we have a mainly automatic cars so its kinda hard to get a high rev without the car shiftin g gears so i drove round in "3" for lyk 10 min and i was able to hold lyk 5500 rpms at lyk 70mph thru my neighborhood. and i left smoke clouds everywhere for lyk the first 10 minutes of driving. it was kinda cool. my car def runs a lot better and i will be getting an oil change 2maro.

thanks for sharing ^^ i have another question though, how many miles do you have on the car? I read that the main seals will leak after the seafoam because it cleans out the gunk that is holding it
