High mileage tune-up

Just bought a 96 Maxima for really cheep from a friend, but it has 172,000 miles!!! The car does not have the original power it came with. I have not done a self diognostic check with the ecu. Just Wondering what would be the first things to check or replace on a Maxima with that many miles from your experiences. thx

prolly bad knock sensor, and bad 02 sensors. But first do the compresion test, and do the regular tuneup change spark plugs and **** like that

Clean your throttle body. This is a how-to on doing it.
