    Dear Joe,

    I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work, leaving my husband in the house watching TV.
    My car stalled, & then it broke down about a mile down the road, & I had to walk back to get my husbands
    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 & the neighbor's daughter is 19. We have been married for 10 years. When I
    confronted him he admitted they have been having an affair for the past 6 months. He won't go to
    counseling, & I am a wreck & need advice urgently. 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 there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pumps, hoses on the intake
    manifold & also the grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be the fuel
    pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors. I hope this helps,

    Joe

    Sounds logical to me. It's a shame it stopped after only a mile. Get that fixed ASAP.

    He was in the bedroom looking for the manual and the 19 year old neighbor was just helping him find it.
