jimoshel Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The other day I got a job writing the advice column for the local paper. After writing my first column I got fired. I don't understand it. Maybe some body here can tell me why? Dear Jim, I hope you can help me. The other day I set off for work, leaving my husband in the house watching TV. My Jeep stalled and then quit completely about a mile down the road and i had to walk back to the house to get my husbands help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bed with the neighbors daughter. I am 32, my husband is 34 and the neighbors daughter is 19. We have been married for 10 years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted they had been having an affair for the past 3 years. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I am a wreck and need advice urgently. Can you please help? Sincerely, Sheila Dear Sheila, A Jeep 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.

Exgrayxj Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Seems like valid advice to me, Jim. Obviously the editor isn't a car guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
