Why men should not write advice columns
Dear Mike,
I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work leaving my
husband in the house watching the TV. 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 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbour's daughter is
19. 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 lost 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 itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.
I hope this helps.
Mike
