Default seafoaming pacifica

I want to seafoam my 06 pacifica and am having hard time locating the vacuum hose or PCV valve or break booster to feed seafoam. I have my other car 02 camry seafoamed every 20000mile and it's been running great at 130000 mile now. But this will be my first attempt for pacifica. As far as I know, seafoaming is the best way to remove the carbon deposit inside the intake. Any tips on seafoaming pacifica would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure it's the best way, but I use the port on top of the throttle body (black hose that runs in from behind the motor and straight down into the top of it). I take the hose off, put a soda straw on the nipple that sticks up and then a small funnel on top of the straw.

Clutch, is this the one that you are referring to?

Please take a look at the pictures I posted at http://s684.photobucket.com/albums/vv209/muse6638/ .

It is the first picture on the left. I circled the hose that I think you are referring to.

Did you pour in all the fluid thru that hose? 1/2 or 1/3 maybe?
When I did my camry, I used 1/3 for intake cleaning and the rest to the gas tank.

Did engine check light come up after seafoaming the car?

THanks.

That would be the one, I just pulled the hose off (elbow and all) and then put the soda straw right down over the vertical nipple sticking up. I wish I had a pic of the contraption, but I used a small funnel that came with a set from Wal-Mart for a few bucks (the one I used is about 2" diameter on the top of the funnel, the small end fit perfectly in the straw).

I only used 1/3 and put it all in right there after it was warmed up, let it set for about 1.5-2 hours and then went and hammered on it until the smoke was gone.

Ok, I am gonna try seafoaming this weekend. Finally!!! I was able to pull that hose off and found the vertical nipple sticking up on the top of the throttle body. I just need to go to walmart and buy the funnel with smallest end fit. Thanks for all your advice.

When I seafoam my camry, i used to let it set for about 5 min, and drove off to get rid of all the carbon out... I didnt know if i had to wait that long over an hour...
