When Needed:

u-joints
motor mounts
tranny mounts
shocks
struts
ball joints
Left to do?
1.. Re-solder or replace the fuel pump relay. This can leave you stranded. 2.. Change the 25A injection fuse and holder, near the battery, it corrodes and can leave you stranded.
3.. Make sure all intake ducting and hoses are air tight and well clamped. If there was an issue here you would see it in performance and/or idle.
4.. Check the codes? See the FAQ.
5.. Possible straup problems fuel related are a populat in-take pre-pump and small hose, as well as the fuel pump check valve. If you have difficulty starting at < 1/3 tank gas, then check the in-tank pump and small hose. As a precaution, you might want to ensure it is working, otherwise you can burn out the main pump (bigger $). You can check current draw, or listen to a whining sound in the tank, or pull the hose going to the fuel filter pre the main pump and check for gas.
6.. Fuel pressure regulator? Pull the vaccuum line and make sure no gas comes out, otherwise the regualtor is leaky and you'll get gas in your intake.
