WHY MEN DON'T WRITE ADVICE COLUMNS:
Dear Howard,
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.
