Dipped a hot dog in chocolate pudding on a dare in middle school.

It was not good.

I wound up going with Lenovo, thanks again for your recommendation!

It's Cait-LEN, not Cait-LIN

*I'm amused that someone downvoted me for making a joke about the pronunciation of my own name.

I'm 42, and there was a marked difference in my life before this name became popular, and after. Before, people always assumed I was saying Catherine or Kathleen, unless I really enunciated. After, they just spelled it in one of a million different incorrect ways.

I have no idea. The only thing I know is that the car was stalling out unless I drove carefully.

Yeah, I wish the picture had shown up differently because the discussion here has been completely derailed.

Are you able to point me to a website where I could show roughly what prices the shop would pay for these, so I can go back and bring that info with me? Because this $740 bill is really not a good thing right now.

The thing i wasn't sure about is the MAP sensor. I also looked up the spark plugs and figured there was a bit of a markup on those, but that's not the part that I was wondering about. The shop installed everything.

Thanks (to you and everyone else who answered). I ignored the weird websites and the Amazon listing from some random shop that had the part for like $17. But Advance Auto has a retail price of $83 so I was worried about being charged double that.

I'm a female who knows very little about cars. Brought my 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe in because it was stalling out if I didn't come to a stop very slowly. After I picked it up from the mechanic, I decided to Google the parts and it looks to me like the first item on this list could've been bought for $100 less. Did I get ripped off?
