just making sure this is it on the 3vze engine. let me know. i think my engine has a little round black thing behind the brake fluid reserve...

the tube that goes in there is the one i pull out?

how can i make sure? does this have suction like the pcv line?

that is where I did my seafoam. Its the "brake booster line". You will know if its the right one if you pull it off and your idle goes way down.

yes it should have suction if it doesnt, look for a different line. i just used my pcv line. the idle will drop down quite a bit and it may be useful to have an extra person to give it gas to keep it from dying

^^^Yes it sucks (no pun) just put your finger over the end of the bottle and slowly pour about half in.

I had to do mine at night because I live in an apartment complex. Didnt want the neighbors freaking out.

Yep, my 22RE smoked WAY more than my fullsize chevy or fullsize bronco. And it lasted a lot longer too.

i got mine at pep boys.

okay sorry it was too late to post i was having too much fun last night lol..

i let it sit about 40 minutes... then started it up, puffs of smoke, but nothing too huge... it was only big when i put the stuff in! i did it right didnt i?

i put a bunch in the gastank with only a quarter tank left.

results:
big notice in throttle response!!!
aka VROOOOOOOOOM (low pitch)

better acceleration and overall feel.

it didnt cure my bad sounding engine though.
and no check engine light?

I checked the Toyota Service Manual. It does indeed label that as the "SEAFOAM LINE". Yes, that's the brake booster line (goes into wide black cylinder), one of several lines through which Seafoam can be introduced.
