I was replacing a left side headlamp in my 2006 honda accord. I removed the air intake cover and dropped a wrench in the hose. I can not get my arm that deep to grap the tool. Is this a problem? Can I drive my car with the wrench stuck in there?
 
Not a good idea to drive with it stuck there. Though it probably won't go into the engine, it could jam the throttle open (stuck gas pedal) or damage one of the sensors.

Best is to walk down to a hardware or auto parts store and grab a long flexible magnet to fish it out. Or remove the hose and get it out that way, most are pretty easy to take out...
