My Wonderful Truck Part II

Yea!  - At least it was only a sparkplug that went bad, but it was plug #4 which was last replaced Sept 27, 2007.   I'm also happy that is didn't cost me anything  :)

My wonderful, piece of crap, hunk of metal, has decided to act up on me AGAIN, and turn on the check engine light AGAIN.  I thought I could get through one whole month without seeing that beautiful amber glow on my dash board.  I ran around town today, like normal, went to my parents place, picked up my registration tags for this year and that is when it decided to have problems.  I left my parents place and it decided it didn't want the gas running through it.  It doesn't want to go anywhere, but will reluctantly when I push the gas petal down.  Sitting at a stop sign or light, it wil choke, cough and sputter.  What the hell does this thing want NOW.  I pulled into a gas station and checked my fluids.  I have 3/4 of a tank of gas, full coolant, full oil, full brake fluid, full transmission fluid.  December it got Smogged, October/November it got a new spark plug, coolant flush, radiator cap, headgasket and lifters, August/September it got a full tuneup new spark plugs and wires, and that is only off the top of my head.  I called my dad and complained to him, but asked him if our mechanic has one of those things - Diagnosis Frequent Flyer Cards - Buy 9 Diagnostic Checks, get the 10th free.  I mean at 80 bucks a pop, I just don't have that kind of money to spend every month.
ARGGHHH!!!!!!
