2011 BMW 328i sea foam stall

jacksnHHill · 06-26-2024, 10:10 AM

Hey guys, I’m at a loss here needing some help. I used sea foam in my 2011 328i and the service engine light came on within 2 miles down the road. Figuring it was resetting itself I kept going and about 18 more miles it stalled out on me and won’t start. When trying to start it, it sounds like the plugs won’t light. Any suggestions for at home remedies? I’m really trying to avoid a fuel system flush.
