The diagnostic computer shows misfires on cylinders 2 and 4. It's only a
four-cylinder car. So: replace the coils and wires, i.e. a "tune-up"
that was due at 60,000 miles. I'm fairly sure it actually had one, at or
around that time, but maybe I'm mistaken. Anyway, $656.17. And after
that, they want to keep it for another overnight to make sure the
problems have disappeared. If not, while it really does need those fixes
anyhow, it may also have a fuel problem. A clogged fuel filter, a fuel
pump that's not working, or the like. When he told me that, I said,
"YES! It feels exactly like I'm running out of gas!"
