Wink 98 "Exploder" Won't Start

Hey Guys.....
I just have a quick question....
I am a female so I know some things, just not everyhting.
When I park my truck down-hill, I have to put it in nuetral and roll down the hill to start it......Mind you.....This is not a manual.....but treated as one....
When I park flat or up a hill, it starts just fine.....This is with full tank of gas as well as a small amount of gas........
Cam someone tell me what happening.......or what I should do....
Thanks everyone......

Try turning the key on/off 3 times before starting it to fully prime the fuel system.
