I found this little guy under the car, adjacent to the pass side rear tire.

Where does it go?

Thanks in advance,

Gerry

Gas door?

Count the headlights on the highway

There is the spring.

The fuel door spring has more coils and is missing the loop on one end.
Unless they varied by year.

Spring.

Good try, but the spring is on the gas cap.

Thanks,

C'mon guys, JW ID'd it in the 3rd post.

Ha!

I'd start by giving the car a once over twice. Looking for things that should be springy but aren't any longer. After an hour if I can't find anything broken, put it in a drawer just in case you figure out two years from now where it went.

Heat box?

I really do not think it belongs on our 3.2's Dr Gerry.

Spring.
 

I did check the heat box, and that spring is still attached.

Thanks,

Gerry

It doesn't look like it's from the brakes or the throttle body.
Did you happen to walk by the car with any wire strippers or garden clippers? I was wondering if it fell off of some sort of hand tool or even a small clamp you may have had in the garage.

Gerry, I do not recognize that spring as part of our 86's either. Maybe a playful neighbour is messing with you.

Spring.
 

Thanks to all for you constructive comments.

The car has been stationary for about three weeks during an A/C
re-install.

So perhaps this little guy showed up during the work from
another source.

As stated by several members, I don't think it came off the car.

I'll check one more time.

Best,

Gerry
