Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns


Recommended Posts

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 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.

Walter
