Like tapping on:

* starters (stuck solenoid)
* voltage regulators (stuck points)
* carburetors (stuck float)
* electric fuel pumps
* automatic choke (butterfly stuck)
* radio
* gauges
* horn relay
* various light bulbs

I'm a professional technician, and while I haven't seen many no-starts since I started working on Subaru, when I was working on Honda/Acura I would regularly tap on starters, relays, idle control valves, etc. Those types of things can still stick, even in cars made in the last 10 years.
