NOTE AT THE START OF THIS NEW SECTION: I get a lot of email that looks like borderline spam & junk. It’s neither. It comes from contacts I know and I’d call it copyright free. I read it most of the times and sometimes I copy it before I paste it in a new message and I forward it to other contacts (to make sure no bugs go wit it). Most of this staff would circle the net and that’s it. Of course some of it can be harmful to your PC or even to your private data. This is why I’d rather post it here! Since it came unsolicited and with no author, I think this stuff is public domain anyway, so lawyers are trespassed! However, I’d like to thank to whoever writes these things for their involuntary contribution to my blog.

Why Men Don’t Write Advice Columns
Dear Dave,
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 neighbour’s daughter. I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbour’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 counselling 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.
Dave
