I was cleaning the hole where the spark plug goes then some how I ended up dropping the plastic part of the q-tip in the hole. What can happen?

it may bang around for a bit or pull the plug out and crank engine it may blow out. eventually it will probably work it's way out

Thanks for the info. I had told my friend's husband he was a mechanic and he said it would of disintegrated the moment it turned on. I can't even see where it went so I'm guessing it fell through. When I first turned it on there was smoke coming from that area it was at but since then I haven't seen anything.
Sorry for making it long but i was really shitting bricks.
I got another question after it rained like a week ago my car has been reading reduced engine power with check engine light do you know what that could be?
Could it be from the water messing any wires up??? Thanks in advanced

with that many codes have battery checked for condition including load test then erase codes and start over as they may have been stored in computer then get back to us.

What's up I already had the battery checked it was good also had my alternator checked he also said it was good. I had bought new spark plug wires but still having problems. I had deleted old codes then checked it for what codes pop up it only had 5 that popped up mostly the same as before nothing new & still showing reduced engine power... Idk what it could be. Any ideas?

what engine I s this? the 403 code needs a pro scanner to test this as it's an egr solenoid circuit problem.most of the other codes are throttle position sensor related but they shold be checked with a pro scanner as well as there are two throttle position switchs and may not be seeing each other. the 568 code is cruise control set/coast switch problem like it's not getting a signal or a short in system.
