Default Uphill stalling.

Hi,

Can someone tell me why my car tends to stall when I'm stopped facing uphill? This happens on my driveway; when I go to park it, it sputters and shuts itself off, then I can't restart it again, even with my manual cold-start injector switch. I suspect like the slope is somehow affecting the fuel system (fuel filter or pump).

What a bunk car the 5000s is. Good thing the it's just my winter car. Anyone want to buy it? $800 cdn.

definitely sounds like a fuel pick-up problem. pump might have been slightly misplaced and have come loose/mispositioned in tank. probably no big deal, but hard to work on unless the tank is near empty, unless you like reaching in up to your elbow in gas. by the way what part of canada are you in and what is the exchange rate. If it is close enough i may be interested, (i'm in michigan)

1984 Audi 5000S.
Electronic Climate Control
Power Windows
Power Sunroof (not really working)
Power Locks (not working)
Interior is in VERY good condition.
Exterior is also in good condition.
I will post pictures after it stops snowing and the next time I wash it.
The engine is very clean. I once saw this Audi 5000s in the shop with oil and dirt caked everywhere, mine is very clean. I suspect it may have been rebuilt at some time in its life
278,000 KMs

I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
