i just ran some seafoam through the small vacuum line that goes to the throttle body.

luckily it did get rid of my lifter ticking, but it seems that my throttle response isnt good. at about 1500 it accel. and decc. smoothly, but anything above sucks. i will ease into the gas and get nothing. i give it more gas and nothing, then a little more and it jerks forward as if i immediately floored it. then i back off slowly and it acts like i completely let off the gas in a hurry. driving it throws me back and forworth and its really annoying.

any ideas?

Try checking your o2 sensor, I've heard seafoam can be hash on your o2 sensor.

your cars going to run crappy after putting in seafoam...did you make sure you idled and/or drove hard enough to get out all the seafoam? just drive around for a bit..it should get better.. if not check your injectors

did it do this before seafoam too?

kinda sounds like timing with all the jerking and stuff when letting off and pushing the gas

this doesnt pertain to what i did with seafoam, but i checked codes and for some reason my tps was out of adjustment
