PACKING PEANUTS IN THROTTLE!!!

i took off my intake, looked where the throttle, and there were 3 packing peanuts... this probably explains my problem earlier... could a peanut have been sucked in? if so, how much damage is there?

Lol, if one got in it has probably melted/been disengrated. Dont' worry.

wouldn't the peanut enter the combustion chamber? and leave a residue after it melted?

the guy who sent the intake to me packed it with peanuts. it must have got stuck in the middle of the tube; probably static

so would it have damaged my engine?
