Should I run it through the pcv system or brake booster line or does it not make a difference. The can says pcv or brake booster and everyone here seams to do it through the brake booster. So can I use the PCV or should someone tell me where the brake booster is? lol

I don't think it really matters. As long as the stuff gets sucked into the engine somehow.

I'd personally run it through the vacuum hose on the brake booster.

Thread with a picture of the brake booster and vacuum hose:

i've never run it through the pcv although maybe i should give it a try....

i've always run it through brake booster.

I ran it through the brake booster and I used quite a bit more than half because I simply forgot how much I put in the cup. But instantly I notice the car runs sooo smooth. At my first stop sign I noticed the difference, the pick up was instant! (this is a 98 camry le 2.2 with over 100,000 miles on it and no cleaning.) I had allready used carb and choke spray stuff but that honestly doesn't do the job nearly as well. USE SEAFOAM!

I can't get any seafoam here in Jakarta, Indonesia. Is there other brand similar to seafoam that I can run thorugh my 2003 rolla's brake boost line? Brands that I can get are 3M, Cyclo, CRC and Permatex.

Napa's in my area (Alberta, Canada) don't carry it.

They've never even heard of it.

I've contacted SeaFoam directly, and the only private retailer that carries their products are a 2 hour drive away.

Napa in my area - get it from their website if needed. Only top end cleaner i've ever used that really worked. Suck it through the brake booster Vac. line.

A friend who is a Top Notch GM Tech tells me its the same stuff he uses at the dealership except bottled under a different name.

Do you just pour it down the brake booster hose or do you turn on the engine and let it suck it up itself?

There are detailed instructions on many of these SeaFoam threads if you search.
SeaFoam's website also has helpful instructions.
