plugs
wires
disty cap
rotor
seafoam
check vac lines
i use mobil1 full synthetic and purolator pureone gold filter
fuel filter
air filter
pcv valve
clean TB
clean MAF
get a wirebrush and clean the electrical contacts on all the harness plugs and put some dielectric grease in there to prevent corrosion (ESPECIALLY battery posts/terminals)

then go give her a good flogging and blow her nose out

 

+1 to all of that, as far as the brakes go; it might be the wear indicator screeching telling you your pads are low. Or it could be a build up of brake dust and they just need cleaned with some brake parts cleaner. Take the wheel off and look.

 

Never been a big fan of seafoam in the engine. It is hard on seals.

 

Has anyone else had problems with seafoam??

I've been contemplating it off and on....

hey jonmandude...

where exactly in the snow/rust belt are you located???

 

Used it in many vehicles, never had a problem with it. Don't know about long term seal damage but my VE doesn't leak anywhere.

 

 

Used in the gas tank but never in crankcase as i've heard horror storries. Doesn't leak at all. I drive a VE
