"ASK MIKE"
Dear Mike,
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 neighbors daughter. I am 32, my husband
is 34, 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 ,
Mike
