Thanks, It probably was long out-of-check; I don't think the car was maintained very well (If at all in its last years) and eventually it got to the point where it was left on while grocery shopping because it was difficult to start, It was like the "Rusty Chevrolet" Song but with the lyrics changed to mechanical problems - "Oh, Maintenance woes - The starter froze, A tailpipe just fell off... A tire blew, The alternater's removed and now I start to pray... We keep it on when we're shopping and the fuel economy keeps dropping!"
I think I've gotten far-enough off topic...
