Has anyone experienced this, their car refusing to start on a hill when they turn the on the ignition ?
I have had it twice now always when I have parked on a hill where in my case when the car is facing down hill though I have read the problem also occurs with the car facing uphill and again from what I have read the problem is independent of make of car, that is all manufacturers might have cars tat suffer it.
Advice is to roll the car onto the flat to try again where all that have reported the issue say their car starts without any problem. And in my case both times the problem occurred I turned off the ignition and tried again for the car to start and though it is obviously a fuel problem as in the fuel not getting to where it should be to start the engine it's not a low fuel problem in terms of what's in the tank as on both occasions I have had more than a quarter tank of juice.
But what could be causing it and has anyone else experienced it to report if and how they cured it, if they did?
It is something I would like to cure as I live in Devon where there are rather a lot of hills, so many, it's oft hard to avoid them when it comes to parking, where parking in some places necessitates hand brake, in gear and wheels turned towards the kerb.
