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's 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. It may be something as simple
as water in the gas which will eventually work its way through
the fuel system. You can also try adding fuel injector cleaner to
your gas tank. However, you should replace the fuel filter since this
is inexpensive and easy. Then check the vacuum hoses on the
intake manifold. 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
