Like it says, I was doing a intake cleaning with one of those aerosol can things, you know the straw that you can attach to the nozzle. Ya it went in to the motor. I soon as i noticed we stopped the engine and opened all the spark plug holes and it was in cylinder #2 crushed and soggy ( the tube that is).

Anyways, my question is this something i have to disassemble the engine for or can i just restart the engine and let it work through? I am mostly worried about it going through the turbo and ****ing **** up. Keep in mind it is a plastic straw thing.Thanks

burning plastic is not something you would want on the inside of your cylinders.

If you saw it through the spark plug hole, fish it out with a wire that has a bent hook.
