I had narrowed the cause of a no start condition to the fact that I wasn't getting spark from my plugs, but at that point I just got the brick towed. Turns out it needed a new ignition coil. Thanbks for all the help though. I bet I could have isolated it with a bit more time, but I was looking at another $30 parking ticket.

Unfortunately, when it was towed something bumped the exhaust and now there's a massive leak coming out from ahead of the cat converter. I knew I was gonna need to do some exhaust work but was hoping to wait till next year. The owner of the garage said "you know these old cars". Since they didn't do any work on the exhaust they don't take responsibility. I understand why, but I'm really POed because it's loud and totally unsafe to drive, unless I want to fall asleep forever behind the wheel. I don't love my brick enough to do that.

I hope exhaust work is something I can do myself, as the garage wants $700 just for the parts. I'm thinking of going with the turbo exhaust from iPD.
