Why men don't have advice columns

ASK MIKE

Dear Mike,
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 am 32, my husband is 34, and the
neighbor's 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
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. 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 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,
Mike
