Team,
I put 1/2 a can of Seafoam in the vacuum hose that connects to the valve cover while the engine was running and that was great...a lot of smoke.

I then turned the engine off and put the other 1/2 of Seafoam and now the car won't start.

I now understand that I shouldn't have put it in while the engine was off, but how do I fix it now?

Thank you

 

Where did you put the other half?

 

new valve covers, new hoses????


is your disco still in warranty or out due to months/miles?

 

Give it full throttle while you crank on it, you should have put the rest into the fuel tank not into the throttle body while the engine was off. No you don't need new hoses or valve covers seafoam did nothing to these.

 

btw, what is seafoam? what does it do?

 

Team,
Thank you for the advise. My mechanic removed the spark plugs, cranked the engine and the stored fluid sparked out from holes where the spark plugs were (you have to be careful not to let the fuel land on hot stuff and ignite your ride). The he dried the wet plugs, put them back in and got it started again.

I let it run for 10 minutes and drove off the rest of the white smoke.

Thank you again

 

05LandRover, It will clean the crap out of the engine. The main thing you have to watch for is throwing a fault code, as it can foul the O2 sensors. As noted in this string, it can also foul the plugs.
