well, i diagnosed my car problems correctly. once i found that the fuel filted wasn't the fix, i started looking at the spark plugs.

but i didn't feel comfortable changing those.

but, my car started making this horrible, dreadful knocking sound. i thought it was the end!

but, i read the car manual and saw how a pully could be loose or a tooth on the gear that pulls the belt could be missing. i had a bit more hope after reading that. so, i towed it to the repair shop.

they changed my spark plugs and that fixed the lull in my takeoff and acceleration. the knocking sound was a pully and they also found that persistant, pesky oil leak that that no one could ever fix-- behind the pully!

awsome moment of troubleshooting; awful moment in car expenses.

any way, now i can get to work again.
