Re: Little Red Straw has entered throttle body!!

well...if it did get sucked into the engine it could be hit by the valves. There are two outcomes here: 1. The valves hit the red plastic and shatter it [the plastic] to peices, vaporizing it in the cylinder. or... 2. The valves hit the red plastic at such a high speed that the valve cracks/chips.

If #2 happens then you might be in some trouble. If you can still see it, then try sticking a wad of duct tape to the end of a stick and try to fish out the red peice.
