- You may notice a bit of rough running as the cleaner breaks up any deposits that might be in the fuel system or on the injectors. You may see the [engine](/topics-engine-cadillac/) light come on as well at times.
- Recommend having it scanned for trouble codes and see what's setting. List any codes youre seeing to the message and I'll look up diag/repair information and post to the message.
- Would try driving for an hour or so at highway speeds to let the cleaner work on the fuel system and see if it runs any better afterwards.
- Lemme know what youre seeing, or if any questions come up while checking things out!

I bet there's a fuel system issue going on then, would look for worn out oxygen sensors too. Check the long term fuel trims on a scan tool at idle and 2000 rpms. Most of the time you'll get a bit of a vacuum leak with higher mileage engines, or could have some clogged/faulty injectors, even though the seafoam was used. Have shop check out the engine sensor inputs to engine computer, smoke test vacuum system and [exhaust](/topics-exhaust-cadillac/) system for leaks, and monitor input from the oxygen sensors. Lemme know what youre seeing, or if any questions come up while checking things out!
