Advice needed :-) SFW

Here is a bigger version for the optically challenged.



Here's an instant version:
Dear John,
I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work, leaving my husband in the house watching TV. My car stalled, and then it broke down about the mile down the road, and I had to walk back to get my husband's help. When I got home, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor's daughter!
I am 32, my husband is 34 and the neighbor's 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 six months. 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 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,
John
What goes around, comes later.

I had a similar problem with my wife's Jeep. Turned-out to be a sensor.

Not really a problem. It was a solution.
My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

I hope you didnt spent money having someone else do it.
Easy fix.;)


Oh, heck no! Remove the old one... put in the new one! I change my own oil, grease my pick-up... whatever it takes.

Better fuel, flushed out the system & opened up the exhaust...runs like a new one!




I'd flush it out then focus on the entertainment center instead of messing with the exhaust.

Well maintained ~ High performance light weight sports model...handles so damn good, the entire thing is an entertainment center, head lights to the trunk.

I drive it pretty hard all the time, this speedster is not just for Sunday afternoon pleasure rides.

Get in, shut up & HANG ON! B|
