I had a hot start problem that (I think) I have fixed with a new fuel pump relay.
I intend to replace the brakes before too long -- the performance is a bit lacking. However, I'd like to think this car is "reliable" on a long trip and on the highway. Solid underneath. I have recently replaced the head gasket, radio suppression relay and done all the simple tune up stuff.

3) Anything else I should look at replacing to make this car reasonably dependable?
