Walter's Problem Page
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 Usk

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.
