trouble starting
Hi; my '00 rx300 has 211k miles. I notice when i park on an incline i have trouble starting, seems like the engine isnt getting enough gas to turn over. If it does start, i have to keep the rpm up or it quits. But after a few miles theres no issue, and there arent any issues starting after parked on a flat surface (eg driveway). I took to local garage but the problem didnt present again so no action was taken. Any suggestions?

Does it run at start, if you keep the gas pedal depressed just a bit? If the answer is YES then search on IACV.
Tell us a bit about cold start and warm start conditions?
Check your air-filter too. At about 220k miles you will need a new set of plugs (assuming the first set was changed at 110k miles)
Try keeping your gas tank more than 1/2 full.
