Foriegn object in my intake, HELP
OK, so I think I get the dumb A$$ award for the year . And its only February!!
I was spaying cleaner into my TPI through a vacuum prot and it sucked the little red tube right off the can and into the intake. I have removed the plunume and runners but its gone (the engine was running). It's my assumption that it went all the way to the valves and/or combustion chamber.
My question is, being plastic and pretty thin, do you think the vales and combustion will just chew it up and burn the remians??
Or do I need to tear it down and remove the intake to look for it??

yea.. it'll just become part of the ozone layer here shortly 
As far as this being a rather interesting thing to have in your engine..... There's been worse...
As far as you thinking you win the dumbest person award of the year.... I think you have a long ways to go to meet that standard. There's some really dumb ppl out there

Yea, the more I thought about it I figured it would most likely just burn up and pass through the exhaust.
Thanks for the input! And Rinnie, you are correct, I deal with them every day!
