If it's just covered in fuel, I'd bet on distributor cap or wires. If you've got oil or antifreeze on the business end of the plug, that's likely piston rings or head gasket respectively.

Are you mechanically inclined and willing to work on the car yourself?

Time to decide, do you want a stock replacement or high performance?
Stock replacement will cost around $900 said and done.
Performance will start near $1600.

Check tiger japanese for a price on a 5efe. With shipping should be under $750. Swap out a few parts and drop it in.
