First concentrate on your stalling/idle problems along with the tranny. If the idle changes with the brake pedal depressed, that vacuum line and check valve need to be checked out. You don't want to smack someone at a stop light.

When that is resolved, which is fairly cheap, replace the spark plugs with OEM or Champion copper plugs which are listed in the back of the owner's manual. The plug wires will last a very long time, much longer than the rotor/cap.

If you are considering replacing the struts/shocks - it is a sedan? - you need to do all 4 corners. You will need a spring compressor and new strut mounting bolts and a spring seat for the fronts. I suggest using the spring seat for an XC90, they fit well and last much longer. You will not need all of the other junk for the struts, normally.

Timing belt, but only water pump if it shows signs of leaking. Rollers, especially for the tensioner are reccomended.
