Used seafom... won't start now, 1993 Mustang

Buddhahb · 10-26-2007

I have a 1993 2.3l and I've done some things to get it to idle better, but I just ran some seafoam and it died after just a little got in... now it won't start! it almost seems like it not getting any fire at all... car had a rough idle before this but always ran pretty well... Any ideas on what I need to do?

Flush the engine? I don't know... Call the people who made the product

Make sure you are getting fuel,, If not, check the fuel filter, the seafoam may have broken up some gunk, and clogged it. Still no fuel, drop the tank, and check the pump. It has a filter on it. also check the rubber hose that connects the pump to the outlet tube. The 89 I bought had a clogged pump, and the hose had disolved from whatever was in the tank. Had later helped my Dad with a Bronco II and found the same hose dissolving.

I searched some other sites and found out that it is somwwhat common... it could take from 2 hours to 2 days to start again... It only took about 2 hours for mine to start again... After it did start back up and I ran a bit more seafoam I still had VERY little smoke... Possible exhaust clog somewhere? I have no Cat so I know it can't be there...
