Dear John,
I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work leaving
my husband in the house watching TV. My car started stalling and
then it broke down about a mile down the road, and I had to walk
back 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 19. 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. He won't go to counseling, and I'm afraid I am a wreck
and need advice urgently. Can you please help?
Sincerely,
Sherri
Dear Sherri,
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
lines 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,
Regards,
John
