I would remove the intake manifold, clean the throttle body, idle air control and and the oil separator box. With these things off, it is easy to get at the heater hoses.

Squirt a little WD 40 on the fuse tips to prevent corrosion and coil connections, too. Inspect the battery cables and replace if old. If you have the time, consider sending the injectors out for cleaning, do not replace, too pricy.

Flush the tranny as mentioned, do not drop the pan. Get a power bleeder for the brakes and do it every year. Flush the coolant system with a water hose, don't forget to open the heater valve at this time. Suck out and replace p/s fluid.

Replace any sticking lug nuts or you'll end up replacing the lugs, too. Make sure the flap in the air filter box isn't stuck open and drawing in hot air, it will fry the Amr mass meter.

Have fun!
