| 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 gone more
than a mile down the road when my 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 lady. I am
32, my husband is 34, and we have been married for twelve 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 itself
is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber.
I hope this helps.
-Walter
