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
girl 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 carburetor float
chamber.
I hope this helps

sounds like good advice, except she needs to check for spark

l:)l:)l:)l:)

Could have been a blown timing chain too :yes:

If she checked the oil regulary she would still be driving. OMG, a wife check oil. See, it's all her fault.

An oldie but a goodie. :)

Well it sure wasn't written in the time of cell phones!!!!!!!! or,
The ole boy would have never got caught :D

problem was was the timing chain ... . if it had been serviced regularity like it needed there would never have been a need to bring in anther wrench to fix the problem ..... its all a mater of REGULAR service intervals :D got to stay on top of that service !!
women need to learn when service is needed ;) should be a class taught to all young women ....... kind of like sex eduction in school
I'm sure we wouldn't have a shortage of volunteers for this class ;)

A carburetor? :confused:

You mean they haven't always had fuel injection? That's news to me. :)

That sums up the Autozone kid not being able to get a throttle control solenoid for me the other day....:confused::yes::D

Makes you wonder what else a guy doesn't know. :D

I would've said to check her gap and timing.



She, her, as in an endearing term for the car, right?

A carburetor? :confused:

What is fuel injection??? :confused:

I'm not exactly certain. I don't think anyone knows for sure.

That wouldn't be a problem, if someone could find one that would shut up long enough to listen.

LOL Thats great...If only she'd had a cell phone.
