tried the electric fan in the intake deal....spent $5 on tubing and wired it up to a switch. We couldn't tell if it worked, then on my way home that same day my throttle got stuck at like 4,000rpms.

I pulled the intake tube apart real quick and the propellor of the little electric fan got sucked up into my throttle body and stuck itself

Obviously I threw that shit away and canned it as a dumb idea. Only spent $5 and it's a funny story to tell hehe.
