Got this today off a female friend





Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns


Dear Walter,
I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my
husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a
mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a
halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help.
When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the
neighbor's daughter. I am 41, my husband is 44, and the neighbor's daughter
is 22. We have been married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke
down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six
months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his
job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed
and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the
ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and
I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore.
Can you please help?
Sincerely,
Sheila

Dear Sheila:
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a
variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no
debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on
the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these
approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump& nbsp; itself is
faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.
I hope this helps,
Walter

suggested fault finding seems about right,
