Hi,

That's Great! I'm sure that one or more of the replaced components was causing your Hard Starting. BTW, thanks for reporting back, many who seek advice don't, leaving us with no idea whether we were able to help or not.

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99

I appreciate you guys help a lot!!! I mean it so I definately will keep you guys updated! I didn't DIY this time, coz I am afraid I screw it up. I paid $670 for 30K service, brake flush and fluid change to a local mechanic here. I am not a hand on person but I am interest to learn. You guys said it is easy to do DIY this service. I hope I can learn it and do it myself next time. What kind of tools we need for this kind of service? Where can I buy the spark plugs and all kind of filters and other supplies?

Wow $670 would definately have covered the cost of all required tools for this job. You would need to start w/ a basic metric socket set , metric allen wrenches, filter wrench, oil drain pan(at least 9quart), jack stands, and maybe a small hydrolic jack. Get the tools and start w/ small projects to build confidence and familiarity. There are plenty of online resources for projects and instruction. You'll get much satisfaction from doing these things yourself.
