Post Seafoam Issues

[ictponder]

Seafoamed my car yesterday and I swear that Mount St. Helens was sharted out of my exhaust.

Now my car idles up & down so low it will sometimes stall unless I sit there and control the gas pedal until it evens out. Also, when I accelerate at around 2.5k the car wants to go fast for some reason like I'm slightly mashing the pedal.

Sounds like the O2 sensors felt the blast of Mt saint Helens. Drive it and it may clear up.

did you take it out and "open" it up like the directions say to?

I always found the directions funny
"Drive aggressively for 2 to 5 miles to allow all the atomized carbon to be safely expelled from the system. REPEAT Sea Foam® TREATMENT AS NECESSARY."

Yeah, it's kinda important to get that crap out

Doesn't revving do the same thing? I live in town and can't drive aggressively with city, county and state police post in same town.

no major highways near buy, revving works, but I think having load on the motor helps blow the crap out.

Nearest highway is about 20 minutes away, plus I haven't driven past 60mph since getting the deft hood. I sat outside and hit redline (parked) quite a few times trying to get all the crap out.

Unfortunately, you do need to stress the car to get most of the buildup out of there. With load on the car you're putting in more fuel and air than sitting still revving it, which is going to cause more turbulence and pressure in the exhaust. it's the same principal as to why turbos don't hit boost sitting still.
