Default Codes 12 and 43 after seafoam?

k, so 2 months ago i changed my coil/wires/plugs, and the next day, codes 12 and 43 showed up, then disappeared a day later.

Yesturday i used seafoam through the brake booster, followed the directions precisely, and now a day later i have codes 12 and 43 again, just wondering if they always go together, cause i did disconnect my battery a week ago, but the cars running good, no missing whatsoever




also, the tabs are missing on the clockspring that keep it centered to the column, so it wants to spin with the steering wheel, am i in danger of a random airbag deployment?

I would reset the pcm... if its driving ok and you dont feel the miss you should be fine... however dont disconnect the battery to reset it... remove the relay for 15 mins or so...

I have heard of problems after using seafoam (electrical issues). Pull the plugs and have a look at them.

I use Seafoam in my tank once a month and have no problems. I've never heard of putting it in the brake booster.....what does that do?

you dont aucally put it in the brake booster you take the brakebooster vac line off and suck it into the manifold thew the vac line... instead of spraying it into the tb... there are two types of seafoam the spray and the bottle... and you have to get it in the manifold some how... so you suck it up useing the vac line...
