Dear John,
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 gone more than a mile down the road when my
engine conked out and the car stopped. 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 lady neighbour. I am 32, my husband is 34 and we
have been married for 12 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,
Stella

Answer:
Dear Stella ,
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 on to 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 carburettor float
chamber.
I hope this helps,
John
