Hi thanks for reading...

I have a 2002 blazer xtreme(4.3l vortec) that was running just fine and then I ran seafoam thru it, thru the brake booster. Started it up after the 15 min of waiting and it ran fine while revving it, then when i stopped the revving it just died.

it would only stay idle if I am giving it gas or it will die

so I changed all 6 plugs and wires, and put a new pcv valve in as well. it started up and idled rough(from remaining seafoam I would assume) but I didnt need to give it gas for it to stay ildle. I let it run for 5 min then turned it off.

15 min later I went to start it again to go "drive off" the remaining seafoam and it would not stay idle again without dying unless I gave it gas.

Has anyone had this problem before??? any answers??? suggestions???

thanks for your help,

frustrated seafoam user lol

You don't want me to tell you not to SEA Foam it because when you do all the nice sensors in the system wonder what the hell is going on! The easy thing to do is to just run it and if after a couple of days it does not get beter check the codes to see what sensors are causing the problem.In fact clear the codes in a couple of days too!. I would also check the EGR to make sure it is not open at low RPM .
