Have you changed fuel filter? Sounds as if debris is back lodging in filter when parked on steep angle. Just a simple suggestion

SOURCE: hyundai accent stops running after heats up

I had the exact smae problem and threw aaway a ton of money on bad "guesses" at what was wrong. The actual fix was replacing the crank shaft position sensor for 50 or 60 bucks. Swapped out bad for good and cars has run great every day since.

SOURCE: Fuel gauge not working properly Hyundai Accent

The fuel gauge utilizes a voltage stabilizer located on the back of the instrument cluster. if it's faulty it could cause this problem. The other causes are a wire fault (short) between the gauge and the tank sending unit and the sending unit itself being corroded and stuck in the full position (the float assembly that is). One way to quickly isolate (and maybe eliminate) the problem is to get a used cluster from a wrecking yard and swap it out. If it works normally, there you go... if not you will need to access the tank sending unit (this usually, but not always, involves draining and dropping the tank to get to it. Some cars have an access panel in the body over the fuel tank for this purpose... look under the carpeting in the rear of the vehicle) Once you have access disconnect the power wire (usually red or with a red stripe), and with the key on, the gauge should drop to empty. If it doesn't, the problem is not the sending unit. Hope this helps...;-)

SOURCE: my 2005 hyundai accent wont shift out of park

on most cars when u step on the brake pedal youll hear a "click" near the center console which is the shift solenoid releasing the "lock" on the floor shifter allowing the shifter to come out of park.check to make sure all the fuses are good and check the brake lite switch(es) and wiringfrom brake lite switch to shifter solenoid.a wiring diagram always helps.

When my 2000 Ford Explorer is parked on a incline it will not start until I park it on a level surface what could cause this.

The same thing happened to me many years ago. It was not out of gas but it was so low that the gas wasn't reaching the fuel pick up hose in the tank, at that particular angle.
I coasted down the hill to level ground and it started easily.
Try putting some gas in the car and try starting again on the hill. If it still won't start then something else is wrong, but I have have no idea what it could be.
Good luck

I own a 2005 nissan zd30. It doesnt start in the mornings. My driveway is a steep incline.. Once i prime it by pumping the primary by hand, it starts after a couple of swings.. If its parked on level...

If the incline is too steep, and your fuel levels are low, the gas may not be getting to the pump? Does the same thing happen with a full tank, half tank, etc?

Gas gage says empty,when it is half full.Why wont car start

The incline is apparently enough to have the feed from your tank exposed to air and not gas. If you can let the vehicle roll back and turn the wheel so your facing in the opposite direction before you attempt to start it again. This will allow the fuel to feed out of the tank like it is supposed to and should start fairly easily. Since the line is empty now, it make take a few seconds more than usual to prime with fuel and crank. Parking on inclines will get you if they're steep and your tank isn't full. Just remember this and next go round if you have to do this again, make sure your vehicle is parked in the opposite direction and the feed tube out of the tank will still be covered with gas.

Car will not start after refilling the gas tank on a 2003 Hyundai

sounds like you have a bad vent on your gas tank
next time try leaving your gas cap off after you fill and try and start then
if this works just drill a vent hole in the gas cap
or change the tank vent filter

I just got my handbrake adjusted in my hyundai excel. whenever i pull up on a slope it still rolls back with the handbrake on

If the hill is steep or is covered with dirt or sand then you may not have a problem. Did you park there before and it held? Do you use the hand-brake all the time? Have there been times that you forgot to release the parking brake? When the shoes were adjusted were the shoes inspected before the adjustment? The tech. should have looked for problems.

Engine doesnt like to start on a hill when low on gas.

Because you have limited gas, the small amount of gas that you have in there isnt being sent thru your fuel line because ur on a slant. Thus when your level, gas is distributed evenly in the tank and fed thru your fuel system. duh.

It just stoped running

Depending on how much gas was in the tank and how steep the hill was, the fuel pump most likely started pumping air instead of gas, thereby stalling the engine.
