I sea-foamed my engine the other night, and had my dear mother help me keep the engine running.
She held the clutch in the whole time.
Normally that wouldn't be a big deal, but the pilot bearing was on its way out anyways. It now whines like a banshee.

 So your car won't idle in neutral? When I used the foam, I simply held the throttle cable in one hand and the can of Seafoam in the other; while in neutral. __________________

for BMW, 'upgrade' means, add an extra hose and use OBDII.
FAIL BMW, FAIL.

I cleared as much out of the pipe as I could! | | | | | 09-20-2007, 05:58 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Land of the Vikings Posts: 2,700 |
