Christa, I think they are shaking you down.

Mass air flow; Why do they feel you need a new one? Is the car running OK?

RPM Sensor; Same question

Clean Throttle body. Very simple to do yourself. Adjust? If you don't touch the little switch, there's nothing to adjust. Price of a toothbrush and a can of Carburetor cleaner.

Fresh air thermostat I think is about $15. While you are doing the Throttle body, the plumbing for the Fresh air is off the car anyway. Many of us digard this and close off the hole. It's function is to help the engine warm up sooner on very cold days.

Trani Mount; Honestly, That's the one that will get you a bit dirty. Support the trani, Unbolt the crossmember. Easy but you are crawling under the car.

Timing belt is a $22 item. A little scary for someone who is not mechanically inclined.
