Why don't you just spend the day taking apart the intake manifold and the plenum, cleaning it out with a wire brush and some carb cleaner, scrub scrub scrub and also clean out the throttle body. my idle is so low now (normal low) and quiet that I don't even feel a load with the A/C or accelerating. seafoam doesn't work. it hardly cleaned out anything after I took everything apart. And clean your IACV also. Seafoam might help a little, but it's all for looks and mental.

u shld pm me how to do these tasks

I'll still use it for the cleansers for the injectors. But I will also do a manual clean like you just said. Thanks for the advice.

Can someone post a pic of where this vacuum line is in a V6? Even better would be a video for the V6. I saw the video posted in here was for the i4.

thanks. The camera guy sucks. He just points in the camera in the general direction. There's a bunch of hoses in that area. Then when his friend pulls the actual valve he dips the camera down so you don't see which hose is pulled.

Completely off topic, but I see someone has part of my old username........use it wisely.....:coffee:

I'm seafoaming the tranny. eff it.

:run:

That is NOT the smartest thing to do. The whole point of seafoam is to clean out the IM and some parts of your motor by loosening up so they can be burned through the motor and released through the exhaust. Seafoam is very acidic and is one of the few liquids that can remove carbon. If you run it through your transmission, that acid will most likely destroy all the internals of your transmission and you will need a new one.
