    Default Foreign Object in throttle body! Need help fast!

    Hi there, on my dad's 89 Integra he was cleaning out the throttle body with cleaner when the intake sucked in the thin red straw.

    What damage has/could be done with it?? Please I need help ASAP thanks! What can we do to troubleshoot?

    take it out... it might wedge the throttle body open, which is a dangerous situation when you start flying down the road and can't stop.

    my EL's intake was clogged with one of the bolts.. the air eventually wore the threads off and the washer passed through the motor... at that point, mr. motor = FUCKED!

    I didnt find this out until i swapped motors, man was i pissed! The preious owner lost the bolt and didnt know what happened to it! it was there 2 years!
