2005 Mazda 6

Hello, My name is Robert.
i have a 2005 Mazda 6 2.3l.
when i start the car it runs for a seconds then dies especially if the car is at a slight incline pointed up hill. but if pointed down hill its fine as long as i give it gas.
any ideas on what is causing the problem?
my opinion has something to do with the fuel pump

Welcome to the forum and we have plenty of great people to help with questions and problems. I would post details in the "Other Ford Engines" forum that includes 4 cylinder engines. From there they can direct to other sub-forums for help.

Back in the day (mechanical) the symptoms you describe were signs of a fuel pump. Now days with all the electronics and electric fuel pumps things have changed a little.
