    1)First dump a bottle of seafoam into a full tank of gas. Then take another bottle and poor half into your oil, take the other half and while the cars running have someone sit in the drivers seat to keep the car from stalling and pop the hose coming from the intake to the brake booster and slowly poor the other half of the bottle into the hose to keep it form stalling, once you have 1/8-1/4 of the bottle left poor it in quickly to stall the car(if it doesnt stall immediatly have the person shut off the car.Wait 20 minutes then start the car. Dont be alarmed there is going to be ALOT of smoke coming from your exhaust its ok. Rev the car up until your exhaust gets clear again.
    2) Now that you have seafoamed it and cleaned all those crappy valves and intake drive the vehicle 50-100 miles (no more)to let the seafoam in your crank flush it even more.
    3)Oil and oil filter, and obv air filter
    4)Plugs and wires
    5)Pcv valve and clean up all that ****ty carbon in your throttle body and if you have a sc change that oil aswell.
    6)Tranny fluid dexron 6 if it hasnt been done and new filter
    7)Fuel filter and me personally take my injectors off and clean them (i made my own tool with a old injector plug from the jy and wired it to a toggle switch and a wall plug) then used a 5 cc syringe and capped it to the end of injector with a can of carb cleaner going into the end of syringe slowly sprayed carb cleaner into injector while turning injector on and off.
    8) power steering and brake fluid flush and refil (often overlooked)
    9) possibly o2 sensors and coils (clean your icm atleast, the little plate under your coils)

    Now you said you changed your coolant to green. Well you might have your lim going soon so ide tackle that befor it gets bad to gms aluminium one and change your water pump, rad hoses, coolant elbows, head gaskets, plenum gasket, ect. while your at it.

    Like said you can get carried away like i do cus im a perfectionist and want my car running its absolute best. Also just to be safe ide lift her up check your bearings, bushings, tierods, swaybar links ect.

    Well that all i can think off lol
