Dear John.
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, and then it broke down about a mile down the road, and I had to walk back to get my husband's help. When I got home, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in the bedroom with the neighbor's daughter!
I am 32, my husband is 34 and the neighbor's daughter is 19. We have been married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted they had been having an affair for the past six months. He won't go to counseling, and I'm afraid I am a wreck and need advice urgently. Can you please help?
Sincerely, Shiela
Dear Shiela
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 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,
John
A woman would have remember to ask, “What color was the car?”
Could also be a coil pack starting to break down. If you can keep the car running, try pulling the plug wires off one at a time to see which one has no effect on performance. That will identify the bad coil pack.
Lol thanks for the laugh.
Don't ask for relationship advice from a car mechanic.
I loved it - thanks!
I hope the guy was gentleman enough to find the lady an empty gasoline can so she could walk to the nearest service station. It’d be rude to make her look for it herself.
Funneeee! Sent to husband’s work e-mail to give him a big laugh in the early morning. Thanky.
funny ping
lol! Love it!
Oh good grief. He didn’t even mention checking the alternator.
Hilarious. Husband and I still cracking up.
Also would ask, “What were you wearing at the time the car broke down?”
Um, what’s the problem here???
Yum, the author had me at “the neighbor’s daughter is 19.”
