accidentally dropped pipe into gas throttle
I was using 3M throttle cleaner to clean the throttle plate and unfortunately dropped the extension tube into the throttle. it's a very thin plastic tube about 3 inches. I cannot see this tube behind the plate.
Can anyone let me know where it could be now and would it cause a big damage to my engine?
Thanks1

Yea, I just noticed. Seems many ppl experienced unusual idle speed after clean the throttle. I haven't tried start the engine yet because I am afraid the tube would be sucked down into the engine.
It's a 3M throttle intake cleaner. I just spray it all over the plate outside and inside.

First things first, take the negative off the battery!
Remove the engine cover by unscrewing the two screws and two cap nuts.
Remove your Intake by unclipping the four clips at the air filter, unscrewing the two bolts holding it in, loosen the strap around the throttle body, unplug the MAF Sensor and the vacuum rubber line. Take the intake out and set it aside.
Next, remove the upper plenum. There are 16 bolts and 2 nuts. I have attached a sheet from the service manual which shows the order to remove the bolts. Removal goes 18-1. Make sure when you remove these, you keep track of which is which. They are all different sizes so you need to remember which is which. There is a vacuum line going into the side of the upper plenum, remove this line. Tilt up the Upper plenum and use some bungees to hold it up out of the way. There are two lines coming in the back of the upper plenum. These are coolant lines. I kept the connected because I didn't want to mess with them.
