Help. Just got the engine coolant flushed and fuel injection cleaning
My car just got serviced for flushing the engine coolant and then they did a full 2 step fuel injection cleaning system(put some stuff in the gas tank and then did had this canister that slowly dripped the cleaner into my car witht the engine running). After it was finished, my car was releasing some smoke when I gassed it. They said to take it out on the highway and let the engine burn it all up and after driving on the highway for a while the smoke went away). Now after a week, it seems like my car has a tougher time starting up. Instead of starting right up right when I turn the key, the car sometimes takes 3 seconds to start up and sounds like it is having trouble. Did Valvoline mess something up with my car? Or what could have happened. Please help! I am very worried! BTW: This only happens when the engine is cold, but never did it before...

Yeah, plugs may have gotten fauled during the top engine clean.
