Title: Why men don't write advice columns
Post by: thewelshman on 18 December 2007, 00:27:47

Dear Walter:

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 gone more
than a few hundred yards down the road when my 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  parading in front
of the wardrobe mirror dressed in my underwear and high-heel shoes,
and he was wearing my make up.  I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have
been married for twelve years.  When I confronted him, he tried to
make out that he had dressed in my lingerie because he couldn't find
his own underwear. But when I asked him about the make up, he broke
down and admitted that he'd been wearing my clothes for 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,
Mrs. Sheila Lusk


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 jubilee clips
holding the vacuum pipes onto 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 carburetor float
chamber.

I hope this helps.
Walter

I'd try blanking off the EGR first though, before changing the sensor.  :y
