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 neighbors' daughter.  I'm 32,
my husband is 34, and the neighbors' 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'd 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's 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 itself is faulty, causing
low delivery pressure to the injectors. Mainly have
your air filters cleaned or replaced.


I hope this helps with your problem.

Walter
