So I think my car likes to test me and my emotional state and different points throughout the year. I have a 2006 car that I bought brand new. In march of 2007, it wouldn't start. So i called handy dandy triple a and they came and towed it to pep boys and then the pep boys got it started in no time by just turning the key and pushing down on the accelerator. I bring it to Nissan the next day and they tell me nothing is wrong with it.
Flash to July 2007. I had just come back from a trip to New Orleans and was luckily picked up at the airport. Well I went to leave to go grocery shopping (always when i need to go the grocery) and it wouldn't start. So at this point I have already forgotten the whole accelerator trick and called triple a. Well this triple a guy knew the trick and started the car. Again nothing wrong.
Seriously if it won't start as soon as I turn the key something has got to be wrong.
So about an hour ago, i travel down to my car to go to the grocery and my car again is testing me. Well I was paranoid about my car not starting my whole time at home this time but when I started it when I was at the airport on the 28th it was fine. 29th same thing. i didn't drive it on the 30th or the 31st. So I feel a little panic. I start breathing a little deeper. But this time, I was able to remain calm (did I forget to say the last two times this happen it evoked major tears.) So i remembered the handy dandy accelerator trick and after realizing I had to push on the accelarator harder it finally came to life. Whoo hoo! I am independent. No triple a needed this time.
I am still a little paranoid about the car but I guess it is a machine and machines are not 100% perfect. But truly, I would just like to know what the problem is so I don't always have to keep the trick in the back of my mind!
Happy 2008!
