Hey guys I pulled my TB and noticed a lot of carbon bulid up. I'm thinking of running seafoam they it to clean out the motor any suggestions? And while removing the tB I noticed antifreeze pooled up on the power steering pump. I replaced the water pump gasket 3 months ago I'm sure it can't be that. Maybe an upper hose leak or thermostat gasket leak? And would this have anything to do with the extreme random misfires that kept ocurring during cold starts and driving? Any help would be great

Could be blown head gasket, I had similar symptoms when mine failed. Start with cleaning/degreasing the area of the suspected leak. When it's all nicey-nice start it up and watch for a leak.

Not sure about your antifreeze leak but definitely run some seafoam. Made a big difference for my '06 running a bit weird (still is but it helped).
