how in the * did you get a toothpick in there the first place

can you see it?

You can try to open the top portion of the intake manifold and try to look inside.
Look at the first image. Remove the 2 nuts and 3 bolts circled in red. Then you should be able to pry off the top portion of the intake manifold; it will look like the second picture.

Good luck.

Long story short there is a vac line I pulled it off and it was plugged so I stuck a tooth pick in there to un block it and I leaned over on
My auto start key pad and the tooth pick got sucked it I shut the car off right away but when I took the cold air intake of and look in with a flash light I can't see shyt

I would still have to drain my fuel rail and buy a new intake mani gasket correct

Which vacuum line was it?
