Why men don't write advice columns!

[MMeier]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work

leaving my husband in the house watching 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 32, my husband is 34, and the

neighbor girl 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 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 more and more

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 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 seems to be on the right track! I would add that since it is "her" car that she might want to double check to make sure there is gas in the tank!
