I was getting a random no-start yesterday, and can't figure out why...

I drove it all day on Wednesday, no issues at all. Went to go get a friend yesterday and it ran fine for an hour. We went into a store for 5 minutes and it wouldn't catch when I tried to start it. Friend had an appointment, so I tried again and it worked. Brought it to a mechanic, but they said with no starts, they need to see it when it's not starting...

Low and behold, I try to leave the mechanic's and it won't start! Leave it there and they said they would look at it that day.

They couldn't get it to misbehave at all. Fired up no problem for them all afternoon and this morning...

So what could that be? It wasn't flooded or anything like that. No moisture that they could see. No leaks/fluids around/on the engine/******.

It would crank, but not catch...

Start with the battery.

I've seen it where there was plenty of power to crank the engine but it wouldn't fire up. Fixed with a new battery.
