Look in your manual for the car/truck and see what size and what style head it has. Then call your local hobby shop, i'm sure they'll have tons of them.

Heck i just bought a 3mm Allen Socket head for my Evo3 from Lowe's.....

if you do not have a manual check the manufacturer's web site for a PDF version.
 
i found the screw but i can't find or thinkof where the screw came from
 
If it's coarse threads, it came out of plastic. If it's fine, it came out of metal. Look around your engine mount first. You don't want to run while missing any of those.

its fine thread but all the screws for the engine are there, i dont want to run it incase something falls off.
 
It'd just cost ya money. Keep looking 'er over. You'll find it. Look at areas that are held together with multiple screws. Like the shock towers, bulk heads, tranny mount, ect...
 
cheers all of u but i took my car to my lhs to get some spare parts and it turns out that my car doesent have that screw so lord only knows where thats came from. another problem with screws on my car is that if you dont get the right screwdriver first time you mishape the head and then theres no hope of getting them out. I've had to drill the screws out from the engine mounts 3 times so I'm sick to death of SCREWSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
