Sounds like our battery is on it's way out. You can get it load tested to make sure, but get it replaced ASAP.

What type of automotive experience do you have? A timing belt job is not for the faint of heart. There are a few video's on youtube regarding this particular engine's timing belt which you can watch to get an idea of what's involved.

Not trying to be negative, but the bosch plugs have a pretty good chance of not working well at all. The OE plugs are much better and worth paying twice as much. IMO

X2, I agree Bosch plugs are not the best choice.

But, if you've already installed them, keep them installed. It's not worth the effort to redo the rear plugs.
