Car fails to start.
 
Lately been having an issue with the car not starting. Would just sit there trying killing the starter :mad0259: .. Took a look at the starter, fuel lines, fuel itself, could not see any issue. Called some local 86s owners and said they haven't had this happened, so I was stumped. Forgot to mention the house I live in is like a 60 degree incline and it finally popped in my head the damn car has a stupid saddle bag tank and fuel wasn't reaching the engine :/

Owned so many cars and have never had this happen..

Interesting. At least it's an easy fix, just pull into the driveway backwards. ;)

Did you resolve the issue or is your car dead in the driveway?

I hope 60 degrees is an exaggeration since that's 2/3 the way to vertical!

Yes, just let rode it down the driveway til i got to the street and turned on no problem. Wish they would of put a little bit better fuel pump maybe? But hasn't happened again, even when I tried to recreate it so I could make a video but started everytime.

Reminds me of an old Top Gear episode...

The 1,200 pound Britsh Leyland challenge, where they had to drive up a 1/3 incline, put it in neutral, and have the car stay there via the handbrake?

This happens to me occasionally. It's a feature! :) Starts the 2nd time. I don't care since the car is healthy. Try priming the pump before ignition. Works for me..
