your probably won't see smoke if you run it through your intake. Now if you ran it through your intake manifold through a vacuum line that that would be more effective

I ran it through the intake manifold. Still barley smoke at all.
i took the line out of the manifold and poured in right in as the pic on page 1 of this thread. should i try it again in a month or so?
also i noticed when i took the vaccum line out the car sounded like it wanted to stall off and on. this is before i started pouring in the seafoam. is this normal?

Yup, when you disconnect the vacuum line, the rev goes up and down, it is normal if you do that.

I don't know what you don't get smokes.

Didnt notice much of a difference in performance (didnt expect it either) but did get quite a bit of smoke initially while pouring it in, but nothing after that. It definately did what it was intended to do, cause previously I would have a sh*t load of black soot on my rear bumper (which is white) , now its not nearly as bad. For those who are looking for it in Scarborough, there is a place at Markham and Painted Post called Automotion. You cant miss it, its to the North of the Royal Bank Plaza right at the intersection. They sell it for $10 a bottle, taxes in.

The carquest canada headquarters retail store also sells them.

It's in north etobicoke, very close to the airport and south of woodbine racetrack by carlingview drive/rd and belfield.
