Why does my car refuse to start on an incline sometimes? Why does it refuse unless I open all 4 doors first? Why must I put my foot on the brake full force in order for it to start?

Hello,

This sounds like a fuel pup is going out and the incline or doors closing causes it to work again. When it wont start turn the key on without cranking the engine over to see if you hear the fuel pump running in the tank?
