I have had a no start problem in the last couple of months and it always seems to have the same conditions. It will have a full tank of gas, as in I just filled it up on the way home. It is parked on an slight incline and it has sat for at least a day usually over the weekend. It turns over but doesnt start and after trying for a few minutes it will finally start and have no problems after that. I dont have a fuel pressure gauge yet, but I pressed the schrader valve at the intake and fuel did come out, I tried this several times while trying to get it started and each time it had fuel. I dont know if the pump may not be making enough pressure. The odd thing is that it has only done this with a full tank? Its a 97 with the SOHC engine and about 220,000 miles on it.
