Check your fuses first, and make sure no moisture got in.

Then begin to check the spark plugs and wires. Make sure they all deliver the proper amount of spark.

You know what they say about hindsight being 20/20, but have you run the vehicle enough to thoroughly dry out everything? Many times this is all that is required and normal performance is restored. Now if you want to get further into where a problem could lie when the engine area gets full of moisture, just take a spray bottle with plain water and spray one area at a time until the problem shows itself. Now you have isolated the area and can go from there. Don't think it is an "airlock" problem.
The repair people may do the same thing you might have done.

OK i don't even know where to start!!!! first off i LOVE this car!!!!

Ok so the mechanic looked at it and did the fuel pressure test, checked out all the systems and nothing comes up on the computer, Replaced the spark plugs!! s for the next two days car ran flawlessly!!!! Last night it started again!! turns over but not enough to make it run!!! i then pushed the car up the driveway to the flat spot, sat over night and today -13 started like a charm!!!! so i'm thinking when my car is on a hill or even a slight incline with the nose pointing up it won't start!! nose pointing down it starts!!! flat spot it starts, now it needs to sit fr at least 3-4 hours on a hill before it doesn't want to start, if you park on a hill turn it off and turn it back on say 30 mins later its fine!!

So something in the fuel system is not right, any suggestion?
