Why Men Dont Write Advice Columns: Dear Walter, I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work, leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadnt 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 husbands help. When I got home I couldnt believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor girl! I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor girl 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 would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has=2 0been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has be come increasingly distant. He wont go to counseling and Im afraid I cant get through to him anymore. Can you please help? Sincerely, Sh eila ******************************************** 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 vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all the 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 carburetor float chamber. I hope this helps. Walter
