I get a kick out of this, nobody likes Wal-Mart, nobody shops there, but
they are growing like a weed. Sears, and Wards were doing the same thing to
their vendors back in the forties, then came Kmart, Target, Kohl's, Best
Buy, Lowe's, Home Depot, Texas Steak House, McDonalds, Wendy's Taco Bell,
and many more, nothing new, look around, what do you see. Where do you spend
your money? My guess is where you can get the most out of it, let it go.
It's called power, when you got it you use it, when you don't, you don't
like it, and "they" shouldn't use it because you can't.

Bull****...When I was an independent Sales Rep, I added value to the
products and I expected to get paid for it. I don't care how much
"power" you have...

Didn't say a rep didn't add any value, I suggesting that the rep was cut out
because they, the buyer/power, could. Part of saving a penny on a 1/2 cent
item. I didn't/don't have any power but dealing with the large buyer I had
less, they would always go over my head because they were a big account.
There was one account we sold to in high volume at less than manufactured
cost. The boss said it absorbed overhead, get the sale and guess who got to
kiss their ass when they had a problem. If I had done it that way without
his blessing he would have **** down both legs and up his back. Depends on
where the power is like I said.

thanks for the advice...

I thought that since it was fuel injected you werent supposed to pump
the gas.
I think I have pressed the gas pedal while turning over the engine and
it started good though, could be the culprit.


"Also check to see if CCM is communicating with the ECM correctly"
thanks... I have no idea what you just said... I know what the ECM is
(the cars computers?)
