Is it going to cause big problem?

Today, I cleaned the throttle body using the Sea Foam Deep Creep. While I had the butterfly valve open, I tried to spray the solution and the red plastic straw flew off inside the throttle body. I could not see or get this plastic straw out. So, I put everything back and drove around without any issue. Does anyone have any idea if this going to cause problems later on? Thanks for any advice.

Almost sounds like a setup for a joke. I hope it's not.

It's probably stuck inside the intake plenum. Open it up by taking off the bolts up top and around and find out.

It's fine to leave it in there,wait and see if the engine blows up. It should be easy to reach it when rebuilding the block.

I don't think it's wise to leave that in your plenum, those straws are small and could end up anywhere. Take the time to pull the top off your plenum and get it out....shouldn't take an hour if you take your time.
