My truck developed a miss. I checked vacuum lines, connections, air filter, etc. Now I'm checking plugs. I'm down to the 2nd to last plug. I pull the coil pack thing off and loosen the plug. I have to use one of those long reacher grabber things to pull the plug out. I was stupidly twisting the grabber thing counter-clockwise as I was trying to remove the plug. Evidently, I twisted the thing off the top of the plug and didn't realize it. I went to put the grabber thing back on the plug and caught a glimps of something come off the grabber. I didn't think anything about it at the time. I thought it was a figment of my imagination. I go ahead and pull the plug. That's when I realize what happened. I am almost positive that the top thing off the plug fell into the passenger side valve cover. I can't find it anywhere.
Is the valve cover going to have to come off? Do you think it could have possibly fell all the way down into the pan? What should I do?
Thanks,
Mike
