[s-cars] Help: Possible causes for engine dying? (Could Seafomcause this?)

[James Murray]

I have a permanent Fuel Pressure gauge showing good pressure, but now you got my thinking, is the gauge located before the filter or after... I need to check!

I didn't expect Seafoam to dislodge or clean the tank, I thought it was suppose to clean the engine!

It's got to be one of the two, spark or fuel, guess I'll change the fuel filter.

Thanks for getting me thinking!

Fuel filter clogged due to seafoam cleaning ? Check Fuel pressure..?

Patient: 93 UrS4
Conditions: Car dies shortly after running for a few minutes. Car restarts fine, but won't keep running more than a few minutes!

Driving back from the store on Saturday the car just died on the road...
waited 15 min and she started again, and then died again right after.
After 1 hr car started and I made it home (not far). Today I can't make it down the street.

Only change I can think of was that I put a can of Seafoam in the gas tank a few days ago with only 30 litres (6.6 gallons) of gas. Could the Seafoam be causing this problem?

Diagonstic Notes: I have good fuel pressure, no missfires.

All I can think of is the Seafom was put in without enough gas? or bad gas... but the car doesn't run ruff or anything when it's running. I don't get it...
