Man, I was willing to bet on a bad ground... Well, replace it anyway... the engine to firewall ground.

I don't believe in "snake oil mechanic-in-a-can".

I don't use snake oil either. But needed to clean this car out after sitting eight years. Things weren't flowing properly/ The seafoam. Is a cleaner thats all says so on the can. That's why it was suggested. I was concerned about the valves, after have bad injectors seals and out side of tearing the head down. Which wasn't an option. I needed something that could do the cleaning with out further gumming up the system, Seems to have worked. And I would recomend it. Anyways few more adjustments car is still running great up to a 100 mph on the freeway no problems. By the way I did make sure the ground strap was in good order and clean. Thanks

Um, no, um, you weren't listening to me.

REPLACE IT!!!

I don't care if you polish it with a friggen dremel; it's still not as good as a new ground strap.
