Default car doesnt start right when parked on an incline

searched already...

i noticed this over the last month or two... when i park in my gfs driveway, the driveway is at a slight incline uphill... when i go to start the car, it turns once and then makes that sound the starter makes when you try to turn the key and the car is already running... that awful screeching sound... but the car isnt started yet... it makes that screeching a couple times when turning and 'then' the car will start...

if im parked on level ground... the car always starts perfectly in one to two turns...

thanks in advance

Do you have a JDM flywheel and a US starter? I had that same problem in my old CRX with a Spoon flywheel. Although I don't think that it would have anything to do with being on an incline.

maybe one of your bolts is loose that hold up the starter. that would make some since, once it hits incline it might be turning it
