Why Men shouldn't write advice columns
Dear Darksider,
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 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
trust 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.
