Trouble Stating On Small Hills

[yar1]

my 96 has doesnt like to turn on on hills. it will turn over but it takes 3-6 tries to start. it sort of smeels like gas once it is started and holding the gas pedal down seems to help. this just started happening maybe 2 weeks ago(when it startwed to warm up) im at sea level btw.

whats the gas level at?

[yar1]

it doesnt seem to matter, today it was at a quarter of a tank and it did it with a full tank as well.

Changed the fuel filter lately?

Changed the fuel filter lately?

I thought either that or the fuel pump.

 

How many miles on it?

Happened to me about a year ago, I swapped the fuel filter and fuel pump and I was good to go.

one more thing, will spraying silicone on the seatbelt help it retract?

Seatbelts have a lifetime warrenty through the dealer. Mine stopped retracting, I took it in and they replaced all of the seatbelts.

I think with all vehicles, a dealer is obligated to replace any worn out or malfunctioning equipment. A friend of mine just brought a 98 Dodge Ram into the province and it failed inspection due to the light on the dash not indicating that the seatbelt wasn't latched. Dodge fixed everything, no charge.

same thought here.

 

how are the plugs?

[yar1]

they were replaced by the dealer about 10k ago(would the fuel filter be included in the 60k service?)
