Dropped tool while changing ignition coil
While changing spark plugs in my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee, dropped a tool that I cannot see to recover into hole near where the ignition coil slides over the spark plug. It starts fine but I am worried that it may rattle around and cause some damage to the engine. Any suggestions on how to recover and is it safe to drive? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I dropped a ratchet wrench extension on the passenger side of the engine near the 4th coil (located under the oil and trans dip sticks). I do not have a picture but the jeep runs fine.

Old fart with a wrench
I'll bet you're talking about the spark plug tubes on the 4.7, ain't ya? They lead into the valve and cam area and could cause some problems. If it were mine, I'd take the cam cover off and find it.
