Start by checking for debris in the fuel line. If it is clear check the hoses on the intake manifold and all grounding wires. If these checks do not solve the problem, it could be the fuel pump itself is faulty. I hope this helps, John.''

- In our faculty, we wanted to get some more specific evidence about the nature of boys� performance in English compared to the state. It seemed as if the 10% top level of result was skewed well and truly away from our candidature. It is a broadly accepted idea that boys are outperformed by girls in English in almost every way. (Interestingly, almost every year the top student in English in the State is a boy). We surveyed about 30 schools in regional NSW - including single sex, co-ed, private, gov and Catholic. 5% Girls in regional NSW got a Band 6. 1% of boys. Why is this so? There seem to be a number of significant elements: * Feminisation of curriculum is often put forward as one * Regional Schools don�t get the �economy of scale� in terms of numbers of very able students. Mention self-starters forming online study groups etc. * Ever reducing levels of reading ability and reduced sophistication of texts being read. * Reduced access to learning support and educational experience. * Lack of strategies specifically to engage boys in English. We�ll consider this.
