its this crap you can pour in your crankcase, vacuum line, or gas tank to clean the carbon out of the motor.

Good job Smash. Hey, I remember you asking about setting the timing but I lost track of your posts on that. Your car would stall when you disconnected the EST wire right? What was wrong and how did you fix it? I would assume the car should remain running even tho that wire is disconnected. I ask because I timed my car 3 weeks ago, disconnected the wire and it kept running fine. Yesterday, I go to time it, disconnect the wire, and she dies. What was your experience? Thanx.

no, it stalled because of the vacuum line... I tried to use the seafoam as a one man job.
