03 stalls when parked on hill

I have an 03 type S which I bought 3 months ago. The first week it stalled a couple times when it was cold and I stopped for a light or stop sign. Eventually put in gas treatment and was fine. However, now if I park up on a hill and start it, it dies within 10/15 seconds. I have to roll back to more level ground and start it up again. No lights or high reving, just cuts out like it's not getting any fuel. This is a consistent problem for about a month now. Any ideas? Faulty fuel pump or location? Just wondering if anyone else had the same experience.

Thanks,

If your fuel tank is over half full, this should'nt be an issue with the pressurized fuel system. My guess is that your idle is not at optimum. Perhaps cleaning the components involved with poor idling will solve your problem. Do a quick search as it may do the trick !
