WHY MEN DON'T WRITE ADVICE COLUMNS
************************************************************************

[b]Dear GEOFF, [/b]
[b][/b]

[b]I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for [/b]
[b][b]work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't
[/b]
[b]driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. [/b]
[/b]


[b]I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I [/b]
[b][b]got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the
[/b]
[b]neighbors 'daughter. I'm 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbors' daughter [/b]
[b]is 22. We have been married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke [/b]
[b]down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six [/b]
[b]months. I told him to stop or I'd leave him. He was let go from his job [/b]
[b]six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and [/b]
[b]worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he [/b]
[b]has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I [/b]
[b]can't get through to him anymore. Can you please help? [/b]
[/b]

[b]Sincerely,[/b]

[b]Sheila[/b]

[b]Dear Sheila,[/b]
[b] [/b]
[b]A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be [/b]
[b][b]caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there
[/b]
[b]is no debris in the fuel line. If it's clear, check the vacuum pipes and [/b]
[b]hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of [/b]
[b]these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself [/b]
[b]is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors. [/b]
[/b]

[b]I hope this helps. [/b]
