Air filter was changed 5k miles ago with last oil change. I checked the filter just now and just cleaned it with compressed air.

If you remove that plug and put a small vacuum line and with the engine running and revving the engine to 2k rpm slowly allow the vacuum to suck the seafoam to almost to the point the car wants to stall out on you. I prefer the standard bottles as they are more potent then the nozzle spray and I just pour it into a cup and allow the vacuum to suck. If you do use the spray I would run 2 cans of the stuff.
I'll have to do a little bit more reading on Seafoam. Thanks for the link.
