QuestionQUESTION: I used SeaFoam in my 94 Cadillac Eldorado. I poured 1/3 in the gas tank and a 1/3 through the PCV valve. I let it sit for 5 min then turned the car back on. After this, I had a rough idle, bad acceleration. My tranny slips. My brakes don't even work no more! Please help!
ANSWER: That SEA FORM, In my professional 30 year career opinion, Is CRAP which causes more problems than it cures.
EXACTLY what are your brakes doing ?. Do you have to step on the pedal real hard to stop the car ?.

QUESTION: I have to press in the pedal all the way in order for it to stop. Even all the way down, it takes a long time for the brakes to stop the car.
ANSWER: Behind the master cylinder is a large black round disk which is your VACUUM DIAPHRAM for your power brakes. There is a large vacuum hose plugged into this large diaphram.
Start the engine and pull this big vacuum hose out of the diaphram and put your finger on the hose and see if it tries to suck your finger into the hose and let me know.

QUESTION: Well I saw the disc and there was a vacuum hose that led from the disc to a part in front of the master cylinder. This part in front he the master cylinder is I'm hoping that it's the vacuum diaphragm. It kept on making a clicking noise with the car turned on and there was no suction when I unplugged the hose and put my finger to it.
