Q: dies out while driving down the road but starts soon after. -- message posted using more information at http//www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html check for codes. do you still have the original lift pump if so it is located on the rear of the fuel filter. some folks report these going out on them under 20k miles i replaced mine with an aftermarket walbro pump at about 117k miles and think the original was still working non-working isolator. if it is your lift pump and you keep trying to drive it your cp3 high pressure pump will burn up. the lp is not nearly as expensive as the cp3. if you are under 100k miles you are probably still under warrantee. fmb north mexico .

craig c. wrote you didnt answer the question. by your definition of a closed system is red hat linux closed your analogy makes no sense! were talking about a closed hardware platform and you try to compare it to software depends. in a enterprise environment say a financial institution your open platform is crazy. since nobody owns the technology there is no accountability and scarce expertise when goes belly up. scarce expertise theres far more expertise available for an open platform. name a close platform pc that has more expertise available that traditional pcs i agree. but this should practiced in a development environment. a hacked and modd os in a commercial environment is suicide. os9 and osx have their issues as well. mainly lack of innovation. take web browsers for instance. you think safari is superior to firefox or netscape or heck even internet explorer i dont agree. it failed because usb beat firewire to the wider market. there were already hundreds of usb devices being sold by the time apple started marketing the benefits of firewire. firewire didnt stand a chance since it required royalties to be paid. by your own words you say that open systems are superior. that means superior performance and superior reliability. never said that. most closed platform computers have been technologically superior to traditional pcs. the commodore amiga was lightyears ahead of the ibm pc in the early 80s. so were several others. but they all failed when they had to compete against a platform that could be produced by anyone rather than sole sourced. are you telling me that some machine you throw together with spare parts from your garage newegg.com and your local electronics store with one of the many flavors of non-commercial open linux is superior to a sun server running solaris or a mac quad core xeon running mac os x server i prefer sco unix myself. i dont care much for osx. to answer your question yes one could build a superior quality computer on their own if they know what they are doing. but you missed a point i made earlier. buy the software you want and then find a computer that can run it....not the other way around where a person buys the computer and then tries to find the applications that can run on it. .

tbone wrote hahahaha perhaps that is because the mac used scsi drives and if you think that ide drives can outperform scsi ...... scsi wasnt created by apple!! bad analogy! prior to apples use of scsi they used their own sluggish parallel bus. pcs have used scsi as well. ide was a much cheaper alternative and apple made use of it as well. they follow the industry rather than lead. actually you got it wrong again. they had the choice of a different risc type processor and a different os all together that they could have bull. ibms 2nd choice was a version of cp/m. digital did not get it ready soon enough for ibms release. shortly after the pcs release they did give the option of dos or digitals extended cp/m. i think that you need to do a little more reading. ok tom. you stated that ibm wasnt the first to create the dos pc that our current pcs are based from. so who created the first dos based commercially available pc that our current pcs are based on just which 808x system are you referring to that predated the ibm pc if you are referring to ibm being based on earlier 8086/8088 or even z80 computers i suppose you could be correct. however they mostly ran 64k cp/m with totally different architecture. which is exactly what happened when they started off in the business world with their new pc. bull! ibms brand name died quickly when ibm tried to enter the consumer market. ibm had no clue how to market to consumers. they tried to do so in the same manner that worked well for the business market. lol why do you think that they lost miles you really need to do a little reading in the history of the pc. they lost because the held no exclusive rights to anything. compaq didnt infringe on ibms patents for instance. ibm had no consumer marketing skills and didnt realize that the consumer would opt for a clone above a pc with the letters ibm on it. get real miles. the early clones were disasters. compaq was a disaster back then good grief. kicked the crap in what way they used the same cpus. clones were the first to go to 1.44 meg floppies over ibms 720k. clones were the first to offer graphics. clone were the first to offer sound cards. the list goes on and on. i think that you need to look up the ibm pc-at. you know the standard that most machines followed until the atx versions. what are you smoking tom clones had graphics and sound long before ibms pc-at/286 which originally lacked sound but did adopt the herculese graphics standard created on clones. by the term ibm pc-at ou are you referring to the at motherboard physical size if so then again ibm never kept up with the clones in technology and features. did they outsell the ibm what shape is compaq in now hp bought compaq for $25 billion. thats no pocket change for a company that you seem to think didnt do so well. hps own line of clones didnt do very well. they wanted compaqs development team as well as larger pc market share. that is not completely true. it is not just the number of developers but the amount of resource being used for each platform that matters and the ibm pc had the most. no they didnt. apple had a fairly large base as did digitals cp/m long before ibm even existed. when ibm released their pcs there were clones out as well as hardware and software developers that jumped on and left apple and digital in the dust. or upgrade to a computer that can run it faster. but you do make a good point here. it is not the closed system that has held apple back it is the lack of software for it. hey wait a minute... thats exactly what i was saying all along. i guess that you do know after all that being a closed system has nothing to do with it. if it were possible to clone an apple the market for apple compatible hardware and software would grow fairly rapidly. why because the controlled inflated prices of apple pcs and clones would plummet and make it far more attractive to consumers. people like apples. they do feel they are the better pc. they do not like the high prices. what does a closed platform have to do with it apple does not restrict software development on their systems. apple controls the price of their hardware. find me an advertisement from an apple approved vendor thats any cheaper than any other apple vendor. they control hardware and the advertised price for it. and that happened thanks to ibm and the early acceptance it had in the business world. it happened because of the easy market entry of numerous manufactures to clone and support it. that would be ... wrong!!!!! it had a lower market share in the business world because business owner were afraid of it going under and sticking them with a bunch of useless hardware exactly!! because apple was/is single sourced. what happens to people who run an ibm or ibm clone if ibm folds up nothing! what
