...and it was a piece of cake. NAPA had the replacement in stock for $8 and I picked up a Torx set from Advance Auto Parts for ~$13 (it had about 10 different sizes up to T60. I also cleaned my flame trap and throttle body (and reset my check engine light that came on after I fired the car back up??). I had noticed the car was slow to warm up (gauge never got above 4:00), smelled of gasoline, and had too much black soot around the tailpipe. I figure it was running too rich because of the cold engine temp. Now it is all copacetic!
