Default Seafoam'ing my car and SOMETHING WENT WRONG

I told my mom to hold my vaccumm line with her thumb while i go try to start my car ( I have to wiggle keys). But her being a women decided to use a tissue . So like maybe 2-3 little pieces of tissue went into the vaccumm line . Whats gonna happen? I notice it after i took it for a drive i barely small any smoke and that it was only smoking when the vaccumm line was sucking in the seafoam. Also i hear a little noise everytime i go pass 3k now.
P.S I'm getting a oil change tomorrow do u think that will help?

SO PLEASE LMK WHAT WILL HAPPEN AND WHAT SHOULD I DO?

its probably been sucked up and burnt long ago. Its not going to do any damage internally, paper is too soft to scratch metal

Maybe you just didnt have alot of carbon to burn off? My car smoked like a mother with that stuff (ran way rich) but my friend jeep did almost nothing.

My car smoked a lot the 3 times I've done it.

YouTube - my s70 seafoam treatment

My friends car and my dad's car, have not though. You have nothing to worry about.

Dear LORD! Now I know what my crx looked like out the beack, I never gave it a good look. Actually we did the seafoam, drove for like 5 min. Then it sat for about 2 days while I went to secure a boat in key west for a hurricane. When I came back the smoke was almost black..and would continue at stop lights. The ride home from my friends house was insane and kind of embarrassing. Couldnt see out the back even while idling. The smoke died down though as I drove.
