I was driving to school and the traffic was horrible... Well i had to stop on a hill... Well all off a sudden my engine died and i started to slide backwards... Why did it die on a hill... It only dies on hills when im stoped or going slow up them... Need help please

Sounds like a fuel problem. Do a pressure test on the fuel system. I'm guessing it's the fuel pump that is dying/dead and it just can't get gas to the motor on a slope...

And as a side note, you might want to change your sig. for now, lol, seeing as how just about any hill is too steep, lol, jk!

I would say fuel not getting to the motor. I would be looking into a fuel pump.

try changing the fuel filter probably not the problem but its worth a shot its cheap and you will want change if you replace th pump anyways

how much gas did you have in your tank. i know if i have below a quarter of a tank which is weird and i go up a steep hill it doesn't like to stay running.
