Using Sea Foam to clean carbon build up in an engine and clear a P0300 'Random Misfire' engine code
Video shows how to adjust the hook on the spray tube so it's placed properly in the throttle body ; the engine is run at 2000 RPM for almost 10 minutes while Sea Foam is sprayed and the can emptied . I video the exhaust and fast forward to the point where we see smoke as the carbon deposits clear from the engine.

Even your pliers were rusty!! LOL
Do you spray the mesh where the windows are on the outside ? Do you spray the canvas on the inside of the trailer?
You need to learn how to finish. Could have looked great with less effort.
Looks terrible
My screw is rusted and can’t get it off 😢
PERFECT! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you for actually explaining how it works. My husband recently passed away and so ive been taking on the car repairs alone and this video has been so helpful. Thank you!
Bro you literally saved my night, a new subscription. Thank you so much!
Honda didn’t have that to leverage. I carefully directed a torch away from the wire harnesses on the right and the rubber hose part fell off, with smoking fluid. 😂 Then I put vices on it in a similar fashion. Great tip tho! I’ll use it for sure.
Dude, you did an excellent job
Hello sir thanks for this info I bought a fortress air compressor and wasn't sure if I was setting things up correctly your video mat it less a hassle
Thanks very much for this tutorial. It is much appreciated. I managed to remove the disc screw on my 1993 VW Polo.
Yup that's it lmao thank you... I recently replaced the valve cover gasket, ac compressor, ignition coils, spark plugs that looked like the original ones . Also replaced fuel injectors on my 2008 Chevy trailblazer 4.2 and every time I ever do something like that something else I didn't replace will go out every signal friggin time never fails lmao.
Minimum number of amperes can be measured?
Door knob fitted wrong way round, lock tab needs to be on inside
didnt even come with gasket ?? great vid thanks !
Stop blaming Alice Guo and POGO, blame your own corrupti government and plenty of traitors.
AND PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT KNOW ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT THE FKN PROBLEM IS WHEN OVERHEATING ISSUES , YOU WILL HAVE TOO PUT FIX A LEAK ,GET THE REDIATOR PRESTONE AND WATER DIRTY THEN FLUSH REDIATOR THEN REPLACE THURMASTAT AND REDIATOR CAP AND THE REDIATOR AND THE COOLANT FAN COOLANT SENSOR , THEN THE WATER PUMP ,THEN TEST THE RELAYS FUSES , HARNESS CONNECTIONS AND BLEED THE AIR OUT OF HOSES AND BLOCK AT LEAST BLEEDING IT TEN TIMES , AND THEN AFTER REPLACING ALL THOSE PARTS IT WILL STILL OVERHEAT , TAKE IT TOO YOUR CLOSEST SCAMMERS MACIANIC AND PAY ANOTHER 2000 DOLLARS TOO DO THE SAME THING YOU ALREADY DID TOO THE COOLANT SYSTEM , THEN LOOK ON RUclips VIDEOS FOR ADVICE AND COMMENTS AND EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM WITH OVERHEATING IS BUT THEY WILL TELL YOU THE SAME THING I DID...SADLY THE TRUTH IS YOU ARE FKD THE OVERHEATING ISSUES IS NEVER SOLVED
HERE'S THE DEAL , WHEN VEHICLE OVERHEATING, CHANGE THE THURMASTAT ,THE ,REDIATOR CAP ,THE WATER PUMP , THE REDIATOR ,THE FAN COOLANT SENSOR AND THE COOLANT FAN, AND THE IDOL CONTROL VALVE AND FLUSH THE REDIATOR AND BLEEED IT TEN TIMES ,AND STILL THE VEHICLE WILL OVERHEAT AND THE MANY MACIANICS ON RUclips VIDEOS WILL TELL YOU THE SAME SAME THING IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS AND FORMS ..WHAT IT ALL BOILS UP TOO IS YOU ARE FKD ..SADLY TRUE
Thank you! I was worried I purchased a non-working tool on Ebay because I couldn't figure out how to change from left-to-right lol
I have a po302 on my 2006 Subaru sti sea foam did not help, neither did everything else I did.
Ugh, I was looking for actually making a coax cable not putting connectors on one XD
What if turning ac on causes fan to come on, but fan won't come on at any other time?
can you use these in california and on fuel lines
Thank you!
It will do more damage than it fixes
This is so crazy! I just got a P0300 code on my 2008 Highlander a few days ago. My first idea was to run a can of seafoam through it and the code hasn't come back since! Then this random video pops up in my feed right after!
That is crazy ! Glad you had the same good luck with the SeaFoam treatment as i did Apex
Try the gumout version.. I had better result with it. Altho. BG can is the best of the best if you can physically get to every valves and brush them with the product.
Will do if the problem happens again Farncois . Although the vans been working great since i did the SeaFoam treatment last week !
Nice to know bud.
Thanks HeteroG !

To replace these do I need to turn the water off first?
Man dealing with a siezed bolt in sleeve on my front strut lower mount bolt. The bolt head is also seized on the attachment plate of the lower control arm. I can’t heat it because it’s too close to the CV boot. My sawzall doesn’t fit in the area I need. I soaked it with PB blaster for days. I’m thinking my only option is to get a Dremel cutting wheel and just cut the bolt out… I already bought a replacement bolt in preparation for this anyway because the threaded end of the bolt and the nut are starting to mushroom and strip the threads from me hitting it so hard. It should have been a 30 minute job. Good riddance.
Thank you for your video, got mine at costco also
Thank you brother. Same condation outside doorknob broken how to fix it.
I hope my fucking wheel bearing ain't bad again. I just got the knuckles, bearing, and hubs all replaced just last year and my car runs the press in type so I either have to buy a shop press or pay a shot almost 200 bucks in labor to to it and hope they properly support the inner race from the back world pressing it together.
waste of time.
OMG I was prying it and beating it with a hammer 😵😵😵💫😬😬. Thanks for preventing another repair 😂😂
I like your style
Very helpful, thank you! It took a little while to find since everyone else is referring to push-pins as "rivets," but it was well worth the effort.
I noticed that the bleeder valve was on the bottom of the caliper when you removed it from the car, then I noticed that the new caliper bleed valve was at the top of the caliper, that is the correct way the caliper should be on the rotor. I guess you noticed that too. we live and learn. good job anyhow.
Just got this from Costco canada, thank you so much for the explanation, manual said nothing…
good video, but buy yourself a $10 tripod.
Fortunately I found this video before I started. Great idea. Just doing this didn't work on it's own. I did end up having to MAP torch the bearing housing inside the knuckle, and blast it. Once I did that it took about ten minutes to get it out.
How can you get a sponsor?
Do you turn the water off first like to the area
great video 10/10
Those were great launches. Thank you for making and sharing your videos. I believe, building and launching model rockets, are great family time together. I love it when my grand kids spend time with me when we get together to launch the rockets that I make. Cheers from Manitoba.
