    Fuel injector plastic tip fell into intake hole... now what?

    You could do all that if desired but definitely add water so you don't start to damage the water pump impeller while cranking. Thing is with opening the throttle is that different manufactures, engine models, / ECM's all have different throttle percentage settings of going into Clear Flood...

    Fuel injector plastic tip fell into intake hole... now what?

    Might be able to vacuum it out with shop vacuum. Also does yours have a fuel damper on the fuel rail… looks like a fuel regulator. Might be able to open the damper up and use it as a clean out spot.

    1997 7.4L MPI IAC valve location and removal
