A 2.7 5 cylinder diesel sprinter showed up at the shop low on power. I could tell the engine wasn't breathing properly. I was getting ready to put a camera down the intake to look at carbon build up and this is what I find in the intake. Some kind of expandable plug had gotten wedged right in the inlet of the intake. Luckily it was large enough not to make it further into the intake. My only guess is this is someones tool from another shop. That they were using to block a portion of the intercooler system off and left it. Then it eventually made its way up the piping to the intake. With that plug removed the vehicle is back to normal.
