seafoam should have nothing to do with it. i read up and the only thing i could find is additive to your gas mixture making spark plugs come out purple and red.

High Speed Glazing
that indicate combustion chamber temp have risen suddenly during hard acceleration,normal deposits melt to form a conductive coating,causing misfires.so change the plugs with colder range.
