O2 sensors.

Valve guide seals if you are blowing blue smoke.

Fuel injectors if your engine is running like crap and/or blowing white smoke.

Catalytic converter.

Power steering related garbage.

vaccum lines (if you idle high or stall when idling)

EGR valve maybe? (clogged with soot)

Various motor, transmission, suspention mounts and bushings.

Tie rods, ball joints, wheel bearings.

Burnt out dashboard lightbulbs.


This is a list of common stuff that can go wrong in an older car. Not saying you should just replace stuff if it's not broken yet.

When replacing the timing belt you should do the water pump, front seals, and all other belts.

Default ok let me make it clear:

my cur runs perfect! better then some cars with 1/3 of its millage. even though i have a bit over 190k on it. Previous owner took care of this baby! I'm going to change timing belt just in case since there is no sticker on it. I don't want to change EVERYTHING, just things one should change!
thx
