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 neighbours'
daughter. I'm 32, my husband is 34, and the
neighbours' 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'd 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
counselling 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's 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

Hell, any woman who can drive a car for less than a mile and tear it up shouldn't be driving in the first place!
