Here is a list of Notes I have gathered from various sources on the net.

Here’s a partial list of maintenance that hopefully has been recently done. If not, count on plunking down some additional cash:

1. Tires. If not correct load rating, you’ll need new. They aint’ cheap.
2. Serp. belt and pulleys. 30-40k interval +/-
3. Timing Belt and water pump, pulleys. 60k +/- interval.
4. Clutch if it’s 5-spd (5-spd best, but if the autos lasted this long, it is probably good. Change the ATF, though.
5. CV joints, shocks, ball joints, transmission mount.
6. Front brakes. The rears last forever on the 93’s.
7. I would read the codes. You need an OBD 1 reader. If it is CA original then it has a check engine light. Other states have no light for 1993. There may be codes even if the light is not there or not lit.
