problems starting while on a slanted driveway

Hey everyone i have a 2015 gsr with 1000 miles and i already had an issue this morning after parking my car on a very steep slope driveway. When i tried starting it it turned over but stalled out right away. When i started it the second time it started but i was turning it over for about a good 5 seconds before it puttered to start.

My driveway is pretty steep and I haven't had a problem. Were you low on gas? I don't remember if the fuel pickup is fore or aft, but I always keep it at least half full.

Ive driven my car until the gas gauge had nothing left on it and mine would start up fine on a flat surface. You may want to check your fuel relay and ensure the fuel regulator hose is still connected. Cant imagine it being to much since its a '15 with less than 1500 miles.

I had your exact problem in my 11 MR. I couldn't seem to get her started so I called Mitsu. They said that there can be fuel starvation issues when trying to start your Evo or Ralliart on a steep incline.

While trying to start the car, pump the gas pedal. Apparently this helps provide fuel to the engine. It was the only thing that got my car started.

PSH i have a 2011 with 30k that thing can be on E no bars left and parked on a steep hill and still start. I would take it in and have them look at it.
