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 neighbors’ daughter. I’m 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbors’ 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’d 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 increas ingly 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’s 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,
WALTER

Dear Sheila,
The car stalling could have been caused by a number of issues including the lack of fuel in the car. Please make sure the red light isnt showing on the fuel guage next time. I hope this helps.

i dont mean to be a bastard but surely a few years knocked off your wife, less drama, no job to rush to (those lunch time quickies are a biaaatch!), and sex with a fully grown, hormone-driven nubile are enough incentive for any man.
and i bet Walter forwarded the letter to his friends and family coz he was wondering why on earth a woman was sending such an article to the help section. Of an auto magazine.
