wrpsuite Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 So I unhooked the brake booster vacuum and with car running put the hose in a cup with 1/2 can of sefoam and it drank it all and stalled... I let it sit for the prescribed 10 minutes and re-attached hose and fired it up. At first no smoke and then thank god the wind was blowing away from the house. I revved the motor gently until it ran smooth and then revved the heck out of it for another 3-5 minutes until all thesmoke cleared. By the end it was like revving a hot rod near red line. No sputter, knocks anythin, just pure Lexus smoothness.. At 198k that is impressive. one observation a bunch or "water" came out of theexhauseonto the driveway during this process... I'll dump the rest of the can in the gas tank on my next fillup and report back with a road test in couple days.. easy as pie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrpsuite Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 94 LS 400 198k miles, it ran prety good prior to seafoam but noticabely better afterwards. Very smooth. If you seard haround there is a thread withphotos, it's very simple though. Beneath where you add brake fluid it's the lower hose that runs into the intake, when you remove it you'll fell the suction...

If you let it sit for a while before restarting the motor...then I'd just say you didn't have a lot of carbon buildup in your combustion chamber.
