3rd & 4th Generation (1992–1996 & 1997–2001)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 1992-1996 & 1997-2001
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
I added half a can of seafoam into my brake booster vacuum line, turned the car off and I let it sit for 5 minutes. After five minutes I can't get it to start!! Checked and changed all the plugs while it was down, none of the plugs were fouled but they were wet. Should I just let it sit and try again later, did I fluid the engine??? 93 Camry le 2.2
define wont start and wont crank.
if it wont crack you probably hydrolocked it sucking in too much fluid in too short a timespan. Remove the plugs & turn it over afew times.
if it wont crank you've most likely removed/disconnected some part of the fuel or ignition system while you were playing with it.

LOL. I buy seafoam today and this is what I come back and see...
Aren't you supposed to start with 1/3 of the can? 1/2 seems like a bit much

i bought seafoam today too, on sale for $6. Did you let the seafoam in the vacuum line too fast? Try pressing on the gas pedal lightly while you're starting.

Just added some to my booster line, noticable change in idle, much smoother... Im going to do another round and put some in my oil since im about due for a change as well.

Well still won't turn over, I pulled the plugs and I'm gonna let it sit for a while. I usually do half a can, I never add it too fast and I keep it running while I was adding, like I've done plenty of times before. After waiting five minutes I was shocked it didn't turn over, I love seafoam I guess I abused it. (I picked a few more cans while I was waiting for it to dry out)
So, update... No start, I let it sit for hours with the plugs out and the throttle body wide open. I open to all suggestions, I afraid that there is something else I'm missing.
The vacuum line is secure, I have fuel and spark. The car is not making any strange noises, just the sound of it struggling to start. Would starter fluid help? Sprayed directly into the spark plug hole.
Leave it overnight see if anything happens in the morning. If not, go over all your connections, tubes and all that see if you knocked anything out of place.
