Before you break out the "parts shotgun" and start firing away, does your car actually sit out in the rain or is it in a garage and won't start on days when it rains?

Fabulous saying - Parts Shotgun!!

Try a spare sparkplug in a plug wire when it doesn't start - fire or not? Dribble a little gas down the intake - start or not??

Fabulous saying, but a horrible repair technique.

It's cheaper to identify & verify the problem (and then fix it) than it is to keep swapping out parts and crossing your fingers.
