seafoam for a civic hx?

[_Turtle_]

Hello all I was just curious I wanted to clean up my 98 hx , I just wanted to make sure i was wanting to do either fuel injector cleaner, or seafoam it, does anyone know if I use seafoam if it will hurt anything?

I've used seafoam on all of my cars for years. Really Old cars and not-so-old cars. They've all been running fine.

I've never ran into the whole "Seafoam will clean out the gunk holding really old car engines together killed my engine"

since your car is pretty old, I suggest using seafoam in a VERY WELL VENTILATED AREA because it will produce A LOT of smoke.

If you do use seafoam, plan on changing out the spark plugs afterwards. Therefore, I've generally used seafom after every 10K miles when I change out the spark plugs anyways.

I was planning on seafoaming, then next weekend full synthetic oil change , and ill add spark plugs to that list, my car has 196k so I'm hoping it cleans out some old junk, thanks for your reply

If you feed the sea foam into the intake make sure there is no where for it pool.
Ideally you would feed it into the intake while on the road, preferably at full throttle.

I started having misfires in my HX, so I replaced the spark plugs and wires. That still did not fix the problem, so I poured a can of Seafoam in my gas tank, and after a couple of miles, everything cleared out.

I should have used the Seafoam before replacing my spark plugs and wires?

Then it would have driven fine and I would have left them alone!
