The recirculate pipe from the valve cover to the intake, I left that open while changing my air filter last week. Leaves a ~1 cm diameter circular hole in the intake.
Been driving it around like that for ~200 miles before I discovered it. Pulled off the intake tube to clean up the tube and throttle body. TB and intake tubing had a thin layer of dirt when I wiped it up. Found a little pebble on the TB also, though I might have just dropped that in while opening it up (realistically any larger pieces of dirt wouldn't be just resting on the TB?).
My question is, do I need to take additional action to clean up the engine? Me being kind of anal about this, I'm thinking maybe I should pull off the whole intake manifold and clean it out. Is this necessary or overkill?
