Dear Walter,
I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work in my Volvo
1800 leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone
more than a mile 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 in our bedroom with the neighbour
lady. I am 32, my husband is 34, and we have been married for twelve 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,
An 1800 Volvo 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 lines and hoses
on the in-take 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 carburettor float chamber.
I hope this helps.
