I took my car in for its 60k mile maintenance. I told the mechanic sometimes my car doesn't start. I turn the key and it hits 1000rpms than dies. Sometimes now it doesn't even turn. The thing is, it only has happened three times in the last two months. What could it be? He was not very helpful. He replaced my four year old battery and said that was the problem but then my car had trouble starting yesterday. I have to hold down the gas for a full minute to get the engine to stay on. Have any of you guys had similar problems or know what it could be?
Is it the ignition or starter? By the way, everything else electric worked, so I was skeptical when he said it was my battery.

Take it for a diagnostic, it could be a vacuum leak, or if you have an electrical problem with the charging and ignition system then it could set codes in the computer. Either way a diagnostic should narrow it down a bit
