Funny...and probably true.
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 neighbor's daughter. I am 41, my husband is 44, and
the neighbor's 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
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 injectors.
I hope this helps,
Walter
