I saw on Horsepower that they made one from a spark plug. I tried & couldn't get all of the ceramic & electrode out of the center, but they did. So, this might be something you want to try.
You gut an old plug & then either thread or JB weld an air hose fitting connector (or a tire valve in order to use a cheapy tire air pressure, cigarette lighter powered pump). They used an air hose fitting, the cheapy pump idea was mine. It should eventuallt build enough pressure to indicate a serious problem. Although, won't be enough for a complete test. Added it, 'cuz you asked for cheap. An air compressor fitting & use is better.
