    Piece of aluminum chipped off my Tbi injector casting and got sucked down my throttle body

    I went on about a two hour drive, (pretty normal it's my daily driver) when I got back into town I filled up at the gas station, started it, pulled up to the stop sign and the engine stalled. I then restarted it, it struggled so I gave it some throttle, let off the throttle then it stalled...

    I was thinking the same thing.

    I already have a new TBI on the way for it.

    I'll add as well that I can manually crank the engine all the way through with no interference.

    Piece of aluminum chipped off my Tbi injector casting and got sucked down my throttle body

    Well everyone, the only borescope I could get my hands on was a rental from AutoZone it gave me a little look into each cylinder but as @Road Trip mentioned without an articulating one with a good display it doesn't tell you much so I ordered a decent one online. In the meantime all the pistons...

    That's my plan tomorrow, and yes the engine was running when it happened I have no clue how it happened or why it chipped off. No I did not witness it go down the intake but I also couldn't find it anywhere inside the air filter or on the ground where it happened.

    It seemed to run smoothly before I took the keys out. There was no noises or anything that made me think It caused to much damage!

    Piece of aluminum chipped off my Tbi injector casting and got sucked down my throttle body

    Im pretty confident in my ability to do it, I'm aware I'll need to replace the intake gaskets and the distributor gasket and clean everything very well prior to removal I've just never worked on a vehicle with a distributor before so I was seeing if there was any tips. The vehicle is a 95 GMC...

    Piece of aluminum chipped off my Tbi injector casting and got sucked down my throttle body

    That was just my optimism saying see if I can find it in the intake manifold lol. Sadly with the throttle body off it's nowhere to be seen. After it chipped off, the truck was running until the leak flooded the engine and it died before I realized it had chipped off and there was a piece of...

    Piece of aluminum chipped off my Tbi injector casting and got sucked down my throttle body

    So the aluminum casting that the injectors go into for the TBI on my 454 chipped off near the jet of one of the injectors and got pulled through the throttle body. Sadly my plan is to remove the intake manifold and see if I can find it (it's about a 1/4" x 1/2" piece of aluminum) this means I'll...

    Trying to find the right throttle body

    This would be the casting the injectors pop into. Good to know about the pressure difference, I didn't think about swapping the regulator housing! Does anyone even know how/why one of these would crack? It chipped off right near the jet of the injector.

    Trying to find the right throttle body

    One of the TBI injector pods cracked on my 95 gmc K2500 7.4L 454 and trying to find the right part (even the full throttle body assembly) is proving very difficult. It seems they no longer reproduce the part and even used on ebay I haven't found any that match the part # on my current throttle...
