I find it works better if you put it into your PCV valve. Its recommended that way as well. Dont be affraid to ask someone for help where it is. I know usually people aim for the gas tank cuz its easy but not necessarily the best choice.
I put in my PCV valve, half the bottle at first. The car needs to be on idle while you do this. As you pour it in the engine will bogg down and smoke a bit and seem like its going to turn off, but you control your pouring pace depending on the engine. After have the bottle, I turned it off for 5 mins because it was smoking a lot in my case. Started again and went back at it for the rest of the bottle. Then turn off your car for 5 mins (MUST). then start it up and start givin it gas. It will shoot out white smoke, some thick tar like stuff (carbon). Then you just gotta take it out on the road for a bit even while its smoking. You will **** off a few cars but its the quickest way. I just jumped on the 403. No one drove behind me for the first 10-15 mins until the exhaust became clear again.
Cheapest and best cleaning Ive ever done.

I just bought a bottle of seafoam today. So I remove the PCV valve and pour it into there? Should I put half the bottle in there and the other half int he fuel tank?

dont waste your money on additives. these guys have cleaned many sets of injectors for me when they were in markham. they are cleaned sonically, calibrated, and come with a print out of the results.

If you want cheap go for the Lucas. Buy the small bottle and dump the whole thing in the tank with a 1/2 tank of fuel or so. Works like a charm.
Not sure why you would want to put injector cleaner in through the PCV valve? you want it to go through your injectors not into your crank case it will just mix in with your oil and burn when it goes past you rings.

1/3 though the brake booster line going into the intake
1/3 in the crank case (where you put your oil)
1/3 in the gas tank

Im still not sure why you would put fuel injector cleaner in your crank case or in the vacuum brake booster?
It is designed to oil and clean your fuel injectors and burn in the combustion chamber.
Putting it in with your oil would just thin the oil. Putting it in the vacuum brake booster is essentially just sucking it into your intake.
How would that help clean your injectors?

Sorry guys I'm talking about Lucas fuel system cleaner it only goes in the tank and it works great for injector cleaning/oiling.
Seafoam can apparently be used as a whole engine cleaner. I have only used it for dirty/glazed motorcycle carbs and it does work well.
I've never tried it on a car or as an engine cleaner. But hey if you think your engine needs an internal cleaning for some reason and you decide to put in through the crank case just make sure you change your oil shortly after because it will thin it out.

I need help with my 95 civic w/98 ls swap
Hey guys, I have a 95 honda civic ex with a 98 acura integra ls swap. When I turn the car on it starts up, but after letting her warm up or not even, she dies out of the blue. and sometimes she cracks but doesnt start. I just had the spark plug and wires changed, along with distributor rotor and cap and fuel filter. The car also lags here and there and also cut fuels when im on the highway and then it catches on again. Ive also noticed that after driving the car she dies when coming to a stop. Im thinking that it could be my fuel injectors or the solenoid that controls air. but im not sure! PLEASE HELP!!! IN NEED OF HELP! IM ONLY 17 BTW. My first car too!
