My first yota / more effiective use of seafoam

I actually got this a few months ago but never really joined until now. My very first car was a heep wrangler which is why i have a toyota now. I looked in the throttle body and there was carbon built up out the ying yang. I was going to get a can of seafoam to clean the air system. what i found was seamfoam in an arosal can. I left the engine running and sprayed it into the intake where the valve cover vent goes to. for ten minutes it spat out blue/white smoke. Its increadible at how much more responsive and quieter it is.
So anyway the car is a 94 3.0 and I was wondering if anyone could post pictures of all the throttle body adjustments and discribe what the do? wheres the Pcv valve?

It is on the right valve cover under the intake. It can not be changed without removing the intake.

Yes it can - you just need some long needle nose pliers and some patience

PCV valves are a total PITA! You'll for sure go through lots of swearing until it comes out. The intake doesn't have to be removed, I just used longg needle nose pliers or the ones bent 45 degrees at the tip.

If your idel is higher than before, probably is, then adjust it with the idle screw on the side of the throttle body. To lower the idle, move the screw clockwise, to raise it, turn the screw counter-clockwise.

Take the PVC into the dealer. The flat rate manual says it's a $27 job. It's worth every penny to have the dealer do it.

I think he means Deep Creep. If you go to the Seafoam site it has all their products listed as well as MSDS sheets. Seafoam and Deep Creep are the same stuff just different volumes of each ingredient. My brother looked it up yesterday.
