Two things Ive noticed in the last couple of weeks.. Every 10th start or so.. the engine wont turn over right away.. it sort of turns for about 8-12 seconds before it turns all the way over...

The other problem happens less - once it starts up (normal fire up) and the idle goes up to about 2k then settles down.. sometimes it just keeps going down and dies out.. Any ideas? .. Ive already decided to tackle changing the plugs myself..
