Subject: Fw: Why men should write advice columns ...
Dear Terry,
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 neighbour'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 was made redundant 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 counselling 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
fuel and 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,
Terry
