I'll assume you have the 'view signatures' in your personal settings turned off.
It is an '89 Full size Dodge van with a throttle body fuel injected 318. The engine cover comes off in under a minute with 3 bolts and 2 clips and rests nicely over my passenger seat.
The air cleaner is the round type you see on muscle cars. It does have a cold air feed tube, but it will not move when I remove the air cleaner. No MAF sensor. My computer must determine air flow with the MAP sensor. Manifold absolute pressure. It has a vacuum line attached to it which gets it's feed from below the butterflies in the TB.
After the Air cleaner is removed, I drive with my left hand on the wheel and spray the SF down the throttle body throat with my right. The throttle body is right there. I do not need to lean forward, or over.
The sea Foam aerosol can does come with a longer(~ 14 inches) red straw. It has a 170 degree bend in the middle of it. You are supposed to insert this into the air intake so it feeds in the SF after the MAF, I assume.
When the straw is attached, the SF comes out slowly. It pulses too. 3/4 second on, 3/4 second off. It would probably take 20 minutes to empty the can in this manner, but it obviously would not stall the engine like pouring the can into the brake booster hose could. I imagine you could secure the bottle and hold down the toggle and drive around, but I don't think it really sprays out fast enough through the straw to be of benefit, compared to idling it, or my method of introduction.
Without the straw, the Aerosol can shoots out like wasp spray. My TB and the interior part of the intake manifold I can see looks brand new.
I do think that driving it under load at full throttle and spraying a large blast directly into the intake is a pretty ideal method of introduction. Next time I do this, I will do the 15 minute soak, then fire it wasp spray style down the throat while accellerating up a hill, or to top speed on the freeway.
The guy that did my alignment could not believe how well the engine runs. At stop signs I saw him looking for the check engine light to see if it stalled.
My engine runs very good before the SF blast, but afterward the Idle is just silky smooth.
