Default o2 sensor

about a month ago i replaced my o2 sensor and run sea foam threw it
but i still notice a small amount of carbon coming out of the tailpipes
would it hurt to run more sea foam threw the system?

THANKS

My guess is that he is refering to this-




Sea Foam

Hmmm- I`ve heard both good & bad reports on that stuff. My theory is, if it ain`t broke, don`t fix it

some folks claimed that it screwed up the cat, & that the car smoked for days. `course this was on the f-body forums

i have used this stuff on other vehicles (older) that had a rough idle. it smoked real heavy for about 15-30 min. i have never seen a running motor smoke this bad. after that it cleared up and the engines ran smooth. i like the stuff and believe that it works but.....i have not used it on my 93 vette. vette runs perfect and don't see a need for it and if it did i am not sure i would use it because of the tricky electrical system these cars have. other words i don't know
