IMS? Who knows?
I am not one to replace parts unless they are broken but if I was to replace parts I would replace the ones that have the most $$$ consequences if they broke:
1. water pump, thermostat .
2. Accessory belt?
3. Ims - have not done this but have had installed IMS Guardian.
Anything else that is critical?
Most other stuff is not so critical in my opinion because you get some warning but must obviously be addressed if they fail:
AOS-smokey
Coolant tank - leaky could have consequences
Motor mounts broken you will feel it
Wheel bearings will get noisy
Obviously large amounts of coolant, oil on the garage floor are a concern.
Others can add items that I may have overlooked and are critical.
As the above poster says get in that car and drive has a lot to be said for it.

What happens with these cars that make a failed waterpump so catastrophic?
