    Yes i understand that. I have time now and leave for work very early in the morning. Iwouldnt use the other cleaners anyway. Just wonering why not duster. Is it not electrical component cleaner? Is a maf sensor not a electrical component? Just asking hypothetically anyway, as in i dont have any.

    Yeah it fixed LB1 code. A friend told me if i used seafoam it would balance out the fuel to air ratio. First time i started up after driving it home the ses light was off and hasnt been on since

    Got down to the real source of the problem today. Looked around for the vacuum leak found that the egr was sucking in air. Put some silicone and fixed that. Cleaned MAF sensor. The took off the throttle body to clean and it was bad. But thats not the worst thing in the TB there was coolant. Errrr guess i got a bad intake gasket. Funny thing is past owner said he just replaced it. Better than a head gasket atleast

    That's good...I wasn't buying the Seafoam magic. It takes 3 consecutive start cycles for the light to go out.
