slow pickup, timing belts, brake fluid

Hi,

I have a 2002 camry V6/4DR, 70K miles and I have few questions.

1. Recently, I felt a slow [COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]pick [COLOR=green ! important]up[/color][/color][/color] when I start the car in the morning. I have to push the gas till the tachometer goes to 3 and speed is still around 30 mph. After 30 secs I feel a speed jump and tachometer comes down to to 2 and then I get a smooth ride. I have serviced my cars regularly after 5000 miles

a. What is the problem? I read on forums that it might be due to spark plug? how to replace it and how much it cost for Camry.

2. At 65,000 miles service [COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]dealer[/color][/color] adviced for

a.Timing belts and drive belts. estimate $380
Is it timing belt due at 65K miles? should I get it changed?

b.Brake fluid flush. estimate $120
Is it due for change? how often it should be changed?

c.EFI/Throttle body service. estimate $190
Is it due for change? how often it should be changed?

Thanks,
Sat

Could be just a bad gas. Try fuel cleaner for starters.

Go to www.camrystuff.com and download your car's service manual. It will answer most of your questions.

Good luck,

Sam
