    Hey all,
    How are you? I am having issues starting the car. It always starts first go but I have noticed when my car is on an angle when parked and trying to start it it wont start. Does anyone know what could be the problems?
    Thanks

    ^^ Agreed, would be a carby/fuel flow issue if its a 4AC. Let us know what engine it is first

    What angle does the car not start on? ie nose down, nose up? And how much fuel is in the tank when this happens?

    i have the same issues. my car (especially when cold) is always stubborn to start.

    my car has a big fuel system in the boot so i always wait for the pumps to finish priming b4 i give it a crank over..

    the strange thing is that when i turn the engine OFF the pumps continue to hum away for maybe 6-7 seconds after it is of
    Insert witty comment here....

    if ur car is on a angle and wont start it could mean you have low petrol or not enough and since the car is on a angle the fuel pump cant pick it up..

    Could be the fuel pump is not working too well ie not enough pressure
