Maintenance List

Hey guys,
My car is a 98 with 151,000 miles on it and I am just starting to have actual problems with it and am wondering what would be good for me to do in terms of maintenance and upkeep. I am not very good with cars yet (mostly I am uncomfortable doing anything if it is underneath my car or unless I am 100% how to do it). So I have new(ish) front rotors and pads, tires, battery, alternator (or I will on Saturday), spark plugs, spark plug wires, and a recent oil change. What else would be good for me to look at?

Edit:
I should add that cleaning my EGR and IAC are on my to do list.

Re: Maintenance List

What kind of problems are you having with it?

Radiator, brake and transmission flush may be a good idea.

Re: Maintenance List

I have a bad regulator in my alternator that boiled my battery. Just bought a new one and it comes in tomorrow.

I also have a CEL for my EGR and a caliper pin that sticks a little.
