If you ran too much you can hydro lock the motor.

I've used it plenty of times before, and have never had any problems w/ it. If I hydrolocked the engine, is there anyway to fix that?

Well if infact the motor is Hydro locked like I was going to suggest and KJ stated, the last thing you wanna do is try to start the car with the plugs in. How do you fix hydro lock? Simple, buy new rods cause most likely you bent one and rebuild it! Simplist way. Or, you can PULL the plugs dry them off DO NOT INSTALL THEM AT THIS POINT and then try to start the car. This will atleast clear the cylinders from any/most of the seafoam left in the motor, or try to get an oil pump (like most people use when replacing tranny fluid) and try to pump out what ever didnt come out. This would only help to clear out the cylinder for the most part and there will be a little left over in the cylinder but not enough to lock the motor. LMK If this works for you. But please, dont listen to the domestic guys!

you mixed it with brake fluid?.............if you put it in the master brake cylinder that has absolutly nothing to do with your car running. take it to a shop
that is a rare car you should be more careful with it.

If you want to use something that cleans out the motor- run engine flush- but that could clog your oil pump- to clean the injectors- use GREASE LIGHTNING-
