Cutout Plate sucked back up in exhaust or impossible? My electric cutout broke the other day, the plate broke off and was rattling so i drove right home and got under the car and it was gone..it didnt have room to come out the exhaust im most positive. This happened with my camaro b4 too.
My question is does the engine cause enough suctionwhen letting off to suck that plate back up the exhaust?
Just was thinking cuz if it does i have had my driver side bank plugs all fouled and it has been missing randomly lately.
Just a thought...farfetched hope.
No codes, i was thinking coil pack ground etc...but is this possible????

THE EXHUAST NEVER SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
Even when down revving the engine is just a giant air pump, air goes in the intake and out the exhuast. Never the other way round.
The plate probably just fell out or some how entered the rest of the exhuast and might have ended up in the muffler, but you'd probably hear it rattling if it did.

We stuck a paper cup in my friend's exhaust on his SRT4 and the minute we started it, it sucked the whole cup back into the exhaust haha
It wouldn't happen if the car was turned on though

Oh well im sure its something retarded.
Seems to be worse in like 3rd gear at a low rpm. then it clears out most the time.

I think they are talking about when the front is in water as well. The intake would suck up water.
I know what its like to have a cold air intake suck up water
