What you need is more info, Does it do it only when its hot? In the morning or after a trip.
Maybe start a log. You need to find out what you are lacking when it hard to start i.e. fuel or spark.
One of the first things that came to my mind however is the fuel pressure regulator in the fuel rail return line is leaking down. Lee

Not sure of your vehicle, but...(and this will be in your manual) sounds like a tire pressure monitor, get all of your tires set correctly and it should go away after a short drive. (These are a requirement after 2007)

You can use Peak Coolant. It has lifetime warrant.

If the car doesnot go into reverse you have more then likely a stretched or disconnected shift cable, please check it especially at the transmission side cover. If the cable/linkage is fine the transmission may have to be further examined for a posible reverse band condition, they do wear over time, how many miles do you have on the vehicle?
How does it shift into forward gears any problems? If the forward shifts are fine chances are its a reverse band issue which requires a major transmission repair depending on what is found on the journey to the reverse band condition.

both parts will be cheap from brake pads to wheel bearing if need to replace. 50 bucks for sets of brake pad and wheel bearing will be 27 bucks. rear grinding could be your brake pads are worned and rubbing against the rotor. you can do the work your self and don't need a shop as long you have the right tools. if its the wheel bearing than its going to be other task, which still can perform the work at home. Big 1/2 inch sockets sets with box and open end wrench will come in handy. if it the rear end it will be best to take it to professional to have the work done.

A blue exhaust smoke is commonly oil getting into the cylinders. White smoke suggests coolant getting into the cylinders. Black smoke is the engine running too rich. Blue or white smoke can often mean a blown head gasket. On a 2001 engine that could the most likely reason.
