What is it about taking your car to the mechanic or children to the doctor that makes them not act up or appear sick, respectively?
My car has been fickle the last few weeks, not always wanting to start very easily or not at all in 1 instance. I had it towed recently which resulted in a tune up and an oil change but not a fix of the problem. It started for them without difficulty. I just took the car in to a different mechanic in town this morning. It also started great and didn't have a jerky idle like it did yesterday. Just threaten the car with a trip to the mechanic and it behaves.
Likewise with kids. I have no idea the frequency of parents bringing kids to the clinic and them looking completely well. The parents say something to the effect of, "I swear she was on her death bed not 5 minutes ago." Threaten them with a trip to the doctor and the illness magically leaves, at least for a few minutes.
Any other examples of this?

Ugh. So frustrating. I have had my car do that a couple of times. Having problems starting a car is annoying. Could be so many things: loose connectors, spark plugs, old battery, etc. Good luck!
