What happens when you start the car? Does it turn over? Are you getting spark? Fuel?

If the car does turn over, hold your foot to the floor while cranking (turning it over). That's the proper way to start a flooeded engine, which is probably what you are dealing with with all that seafoam in the system. DFon't be surprised if it starts and dies a few times. After you get it idling reasonably well, take it for a ride for about 10-15 minutes to clear all the seafoam out.

it takes some revving to start it up after sea foam. floor the gas pedal to initially start the engine then hold it at 2,500 rpms for a little until engine start running more normal. it may still die at idle a few times, don't worry. there will be lots of white smoke once started after sea foam, don't be afraid of it. it will take a few high rpm runs to get rid off it.

It's great, all the neighbors come and think it's a fire or a BBQ.
