loss of power
I have a 2011 2 door jk with a MBRP catback exhaust, volant cold air intake, and a volant throttle body spacer. I used some Seafoam in the gas tank and the vaccum lines. Now it runs crappy and smells like sulfur (almost like a diesel motor). Any ideas?

The bottled liquid sea foam can cause hydro lock if too much is poured into the vacuum system too quickly. Also, sea foam can shorten the life of a catalytic converter and or the spark plugs and O2 sensors in addition to the damage the carbon release can have on those same parts. It can also be hard on the fuel pump too. Hydro locking with seafoam should be temporary if left to sit for awhile but if it persists I'd start with plugs and O2 sensors then on to the cat. However, if impact to driveability is significant, a CEL for the affected jsystem should show or the "limp home" mode should kick in. Didn't see any mention of display indicators after problem started.
