plugs, wires if they test to a high resistance, tranny filter/fluid change, coolant flush if it is dirty or cloudy, fuel filter, check the air filter, PCV valve.
Should cover most of what I would do. |

Keep up with routine maintenance. You won't regret it. My olds has over 230k miles and it still runs like its brand new. I've gotten a lot of new parts for it thought. I just keep up with oil changes too.

Better question....
Why are you asking an online forum if you're in an auto-tech program. I'd think that'd be one of the basics

alright... just checking
I was just hoping that the people that come out of an "Auto Tech" program would know these things already 
It's all good though. |

Depending on the program they may cover HOW to do the repairs but not necessarily WHAT repairs to do when.
