Get a reader and pull codes if you haven't already. This will let you know if you have to fuss with the AOS or chase down a vacuum leak.

Change serpentine belt. Replacement is inexpensive and it probably has the original which will be starting to dry rot at 15 years. Plus it is one of the easiest jobs to do.

Pull the plugs and check them. They should be changed every 30K.

Tires might be real old. Check the tire dates. If they are over 8 years old buy new. If you like to drive hard, change them if they are over 6 years old.

Flush all fluids. Air cleaner. Cabin air filter.
