  4. Engine Parts: Poor or faulty parts means nothing you do or say will change a poor product. Remember to focus on quality first.\n\nFuel: Too much floods an engine. Too lean stalls the engine. Quality and quantity matter here.\n\nFire: Marketing people always like being the fire. The right conditions means the fire burns bright and clean, but cannot exist without fuel and, more importantly, AIR.\n\nAir: No spark, no flame, fuel sploshes around and the engine stops.\n\n
