"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
Regards,
Tom Watson

Good one, for some reason SWMBO didn't think it was as
funny as I did, no accounting for taste I guess.
