    Dear Ian :

    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 gone more
    than a mile down the road when my 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 the bedroom with a
    neighbor lady making mad passionate love to her. I am 32, my husband
    is 34 and we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted
    him, he broke down and admitted that he'd 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. I don't feel I can get
    through to him anymore.
    Can you please help?
    Sincerely,
    Mrs.. Sheila Usk


    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 jubilee clips
    holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. 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.
    Best regards
    Ian
