Not So Much 100% There, Ugly Duckling...
Because had all cylinders been firing correctly, I would have both followed the gut instinct AND heeded the voice inside my eardrums saying "ASK HOW MUCH THE CONTRAPTION IS..." whilst proffering my hard-earned green frogskins for mechanical fixes for an ailing vehicle yestere'en.
No, I spent the needed five bones (for the bonus point for cash back thingie), and then some, getting spark plugs.
Chalk one up to preps. The fuel filter, too.
What I did need, I got today.
I rolled two numbers and set out on foot to the auto parts store, picking up the 4.99 piece I opted not to inquire of yesterday, and some other ~$15 worth of S-10 zoom-zooms and wham-whams.
The finnif was all that were required. Sally the S-10 is safely ensconced in the street front of the abode now.
Nice to have fifteen dollars American fix a problem and right for a change.
Woulda been less stressful to have done it yesterday when The Voices said...
Double-win: I learned something AND stocked up on some future preventative-maintenance items for the transportation/oft-also-Swan-habitat.
Sweeet!
Slainte.

I'm glad you could fix her, Sir...I'm sure she hated letting you down.

So glad something went right and you were able to fix her for under the standard "arm and leg".
