After finishing the install for jb4 and the intake, i dropped a screw holding the cowl into the opening around the ecu and cannot find where the screw went. It seems that the area around the ecu is closed from the rest of the engine bay so the screw will stay in that area and will not fall out to the bottom like i hoped.. any ideas on how to get the screw out? I am worried that it'll make rattling noises

Well there are three ways you can do this.
1: Get a magnet on a extension and hope the screw is magnetic.
B: use a mirror and a flashlight.
3: Throw another screw in there and maybe it will find it's buddy.

I would stay away from #3

I was just thinking the same thing...won't this cause some messed up negative polarity and cause a dysfunctional ecu?
The experts can chime in here...
