sea foam is crap....

 

because the oem plugs are better. i placed the order monday never realized it take so long. still no word. i'm gonna call tomorrow morning. this is ridiculous.

 

Ummmm....OEM plugs are NGK PFR7G-11S, which retail at Advance. They are probably half the price than the dealer too......


Look for yourself H and A Near the bottom, inbetween the wiper blades and the bumper clips.....

 

they retail at 17 at advance. besides from what i know i already placed the order. and from what i hear the ones are cheaper at the dealer. i'll find out.

 

Steady Lit CEL is better than a blinking CEL buddy

 

iirc, blinking CEL = detonation?

 

What does Seafoam say about your problems? Have they offered to assist you?

 

Everytime I've done seafoam or seen somebody do it, it all goes into the pcv valve...have never put it in my oil or gas tank...also I know when I did it on my old car(celica) It totally trashed the pcv valve which was a pretty common thing and it was a cheap fix anyway , so you might start there.

Also don't know if it was related ,but one guy did do seafoam on his 7th gen celica ,and said he hit lift getting on a freeway and saw dark smoke coming from his car....took it home found that the support arm of his CAI pulled away from the main CAI tubing leaving a 2 in. wide hole in the CAI, than proceeded to take off the CAI where he found a large amount of oil coating the inside of the throttle body and Intake.

 

They'd probably tell him to use more seafoam!

 

Exceptional logic -

Keep driving a car that has a flashing CEL
It would stay on if something serious
Keeping revs down
Knowing it's not good or what it is but what the hell
Wait until I get the plugs

You'll end up renting a car anyway when yours is at the dealership getting a new motor
