How can I prevent my car from rolling back on a hill?

What does it mean when your car engine pings?
These two chemicals are poisonous gases that show up as yellowish-brownish in a polluted sky. They can also cause respiratory problems like asthma and emphysema—a pinging engine is never a good thing.
What causes a car to run lean on a hill?
If the fuel filter is not changed for a long time, eventually the particles and sediment from the gas tank will build up and clog the filter, restricting fuel flow. If the flow of fuel is restricted too much, not enough will be able to reach the fuel injectors and the car is likely to run lean.
