We need to know the code so we can suggest the course of action to correct.
There are different valves in the intake manifold and some are moved with a vacuum actuator and one is moved with an electric motor.

SeaFoam won't hurt the engine, it just won't help much in your situation either.
Especially if its a faulty solenoid causing the problem.
This is why knowing the error code is key.
