PAFbird

I have a 2001 stock v6 firebird that has been running great, but recently it has been giving me trouble starting if it gets parked on a hill. Every morning I drop my daughter off at daycare, and their parking lot has a slight incline to it. I'm in and out in 5 minutes, but when I try to start the car, all the lights and gauges move, radio comes on, etc, but the engine doesn't crank.

After a few tries, It eventually cooperates and starts right up, but I have a feeling its going to leave me stranded at some point. It was initially happening if the car was parked facing uphill, but now it seems direction doesn't matter. I haven't had any issues if the car is parked on level ground. Car also has a full tank of gas.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

I doubt if the slight incline has anything to do with it. I suspect the starter is starting to go.

Probably starter as mentioned. Look and see what the security light on the cluster is doing while it's acting up on off fast blink slow blink etc
