Leader, manager or supervisor: Which are you?
AutoInc. Share    
Building a successful business is a lot like cooking. If some of the ingredients are missing or not measured in correct
proportion, the result is almost always less than expected and often inedible. Of the many businesses I have had the opportunity to work with over the years, almost all have had the ingredients needed to be successful and most of them have had the recipe; but they lacked a core component that is vital to the recipe. In essence, they knew what they needed to do but could not do it because something was missing. MORE

Determining the missing elements in misfires
MotorAge
Share
Misfires are a common drivability issue. If the misfire rate exceeds the programmed threshold, the Engine Control Module will record the problem and turn on the Malfunction Indicator Lamp. If the rate is severe enough to threaten the health of the catalytic converter, the MIL will flash in an attempt to warn the
driver that something is seriously wrong. Some misfires, though, are intermittent enough to be noticeable but not trip a code, and these can be the toughest of all to repair.

"NHTSA recently closed another study finding that the only cause of unintended acceleration was an out-of-position or inappropriate floor mat," said Bob Carter,
