Rough Start

I can't think of anything that would only be affected by an incline.
When you say "rough start" do you mean the engine fires immediately as usual, but then misfires? How long does it misfire before running smooth? Or is it a different scenario?

I'm stumped. Maybe try parking on the opposite incline (point downhill instead of uphill, or vice-versa) and see if that makes any difference.
Wild guessing would be the fuel pressure regulator (FPR) but an incline shouldn't make a difference. If the FPR is old or original, it's a good idea to replace as preventive maintenance anyway.
