SeaFoam - yes or no

On the 405k mile Sentra I bought off Ray at ~380k it almost immediately had an issue.  Ray was convinced it was electrical and I wasted a few hundred dollars on extinct parts and weeks possibly months before I borrowed an injector and swapped it and the problem was solved.  So.... it COULD be electrical but it COULD also be something else.  It COULD be the first sign of the end of the world

My ECU unit is also a JWT and my connection issue just happened out of the blue while driving home one day, and having the ECU connected for
16 or so years...
Very easy to do, can't hurt.
