But as above said, you should immediately stop whatever you're doing with the car now and have someone who knows what they're doing to take a look.
I think best case would be the tape has run its course and been disintegrated in the combustion chamber and expelled as bits of carbon

To be honest if the car runs fine after sealing the intake system back up, I would not worry about it as any damage has already been done.

You could remove the intake manifold but I bet you won't see anything
