I just bought a 2002 Honda Civic, when the gas is less than half a tank and I am parked on a hill, the car won't start. I have to put in neutral and roll to a level place and then it starts. The dealer has had the car for 5 days and cannot get this condition to repeat. They say everthing is working fine. It has happened to me several times. Any ideas?

 

prob something in fuel tank...

 

Weird, i thought fuel pickups were located in the rear of the gas tank. Sadly, its probably gunna be expensive to fix, playing around with the fuel tank aint cheap

 

Just leave it with more gas in the car. A lot of people had this issue, its a design problem, not just your car.

 

weird...i park mine on a hill all the time. i dont have any problems. ...

sheesh so how much is the dealership charging you to leave your car there so long..?

 

Nothing, I got it back from the dealer because they cannot find anything wrong with it.

 

well some hills are higher than others.. now if your saying your parked on a hill , is it a hill or a mountain ,, its def. the tank design no doubt in my mind

Acura Tech
X Honda Tech

 

a very steep hill

 

i never have problems either parking on a LARGE hill.

 

the fuel pump is under the back seat and very easy to change check with your local auto parts store for a replacement its the sock on the pump thats not allowing the fuel to pick up email me if you need step by step directions for the repair i have alldata

 

i have honda and acura interactive(dealer only)ill check to see if theres any bulletins
