When I took my car out it started as usual without a hitch. Went to the store and parked on a small incline, with the car facing up. When I went to start the car it would not start. Cranked OK - almost fired up then nothing. After cranking numerious tries and letting it sit a bit she finally started. When it started it did not fire up immediatly, rather slowly while cranking the started.

I believe I noticed this once before several months ago, again parking on the same angle on a slopped driveway. Any ideas what the problem could be?

As usual thanks in advance for your time.

And your car is a _______________?

 

I can't believe I left the car description out of my original post. It is a 1978 911 SC coupe with 90k miles. As an update after driving it again I am not sure the problem is related to the car being parked on an angle as I had it parked in my drive at an opposite angle and the same problem.

It appears to happen sporadically when the car is warm. First cold start no problem.

Thanks, Guys
