Why men should not be Agony Aunts.
Dear Roger.
I hope you can help me.
The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house
watching TV. I hadn’t driven more than a Kilometer 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
neighbours’ 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 made redundant 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 counselling and I’m
afraid I can’t get through to him anymore.
Can you 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.
Roger.
