Quick question guys. I just ran the seafoam thru for the first time per Mike's great instructions. Now I have the CEL. I'm pretty sure Mike said it would reset itself after a few starts but need to be reassured. Thank you in advance for your input.

If it doesn't, just run down to any auto parts store and have them clear it, find out what the code was and let me know.

I did seafoam last weekend and my SES light is still on, truck seems to run/idle a lot better. My question; is there a certain type of code reader to ask for or are they universal????

Just go have your local auto parts store read and clear the code, they don't charge for it.

Don't waist your time with the Seafoam in the engine, do the ATF flush for better results. Just put one can in the gas tank and the other can of Seafoam thru the induction system.
