Yes mate it should have acted like that . Do you have an air line handy ? Or is it at the house ?

Plastic bag sucked into engine...
- Thread starter rivigo

At the house mate. Reckon if we crank it over by hand it will allow the valve to open up enough to pull the majority of the bag out? If we do as you say and pull the fuel relay and crank it over (presumably on the starter) with no exhaust manifold will it cause any damage. I'm assuming the engine won't even start at there will be no back pressure? Sorry I'm it entirely engine savvy
I think ud need to crank it mate to get enough pressure to force any stubborn bits out . Going by hand mate would be in slow motion to a proper compression stroke if ya get me chum . Try by hand first if ya have the chance mate
Probably not.
It's worth mentioning that Tesco bags are biodegradable.
Get a couple more and see if you can find something that accelerates the process, try oil, WD40, thinners (be careful), Diesel.
If you get lucky you could just soak the bag overnight and turn it to a slop - then just clean it up with a rag.

It wont do any damage mate as the engine is only doing a cycle if it where a metal like a loose bolt id highly advise not to. Weathers terrible mate hopefully it breaks sòon for you
Wow someone has got to say it how bloody stupid can you be. Moving the car 2ft and you didn't think to push the car.
Sorry to be rude I hope you can sort it easily and cheaply.

What uphill? I know it was stupid, pretty sure I made that clear enough myself, but like you said, someone has to say it.
I would just let it burn itself off mate, there is a lot more carbon and deposits in the bore than the little bit of bag you have stuck in there lol. Its all part of the fun with the driveway mechanics!
Ah it's gone the garage now, engine didn't turn by hand, got stiff at one point so the bag has possible caused an inlet valve to get stuck open. I will see what they say
