SOMETHING GOT INTO THE INTAKE!!

mstang99 · 05-12-2008, 08:00 PM

I was cleaning the throttle body with a cleaner that have that little red straw to spray on the throttle plates and inside of it and it got into the intake, I already tried to suck it out with a vacuum cleaner but it didnÂ´t came out. What can I do? Will that little thing hurt my engine if I leave it in there? Please HELP ME!!

id definitely get it out. it would eventually melt, but could damage something before then. but its all good man, just unbolt your tb, it should still be close. good luck.

Thanks, I donÂ´t know why I didnÂ´t think that before, I was thinking on removing the whole intake but now I realize that I donÂ´t have to do all that just remove the tb, thanks again, I will have to do that tonight.

It cant get past the bend in the back of the intake so you should be able to get to it.

If you are still having trouble you can ask somone that lives close to your to help you. I am in Springfield Mo at the moment.

You should go grab a TB gasket after you get it all bolted back together. They are only $5 dollars or so but it will ward against any leaks.

thanks to all, I already got it out, I took the tb off and found it like 4-5 inches from the entrance, it wasnÂ´t hard at all to take it out, thankfully I havenÂ´t to pull the intake off, now I need a new gasket, I will be doing that tonight. thanks again

I know what do you mean, it is a pain in the ass to get objects from hard to reach places when you donÂ´t have a magnetic pick-up tool, I had to attach a piece of adhesive tape to a wire to grab that s**t

Once I was putting the white face gauge and I droped 2 of those pins that hold needles. One fell on the floor mats and I found it, but the other went somewhere around the wheel and I never found it. Now whenever Iturn my lights on theres two empty holes on the cluster (i never put back the one I found). Its good that they were the last ones! So now I can easily go 140mph, I don't have the pin to stop my needle...lol...that was just a joke! But yeah riching for something you can barely rich is pain in the a$$!
