What needs to be done at 120,000 Miles? 200

Darrell & Sven,

I'll take a stab at this...

I'm not sure that there is anything that needs special attention at the 120,000 mile service. However, you are due for both the 30,000 and 60,000 mile services.
These entail replacing the air and fuel filters, the cap, rotor, plug wires and spark plugs, adjusting the valves, flushing the cooling system and renewing the brake fluid. It would also be a good idea to inspect the flame trap and replace if necessary.

In my experience, the starters on these cars last forever, and the alternator's brush pack and regulator need to be replaced around 150,000 miles.

Air mass meter failure is usually caused by failure of the "airbox thermostat." You might want to replace this when you do the air filter.
