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 girl. 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 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.
