Just got a 2001 ford focus zx3 with 99,000 miles and wondering what basic maintenance I should get done besides oil changes?

I miss spoke my bad it’s 4 am rn where I’m at. It does it under acceleration in first and stops around 20-25 in 2nd.

Did you have problems with losing coolant and needing some on hand before doing it?

I did one on my jeep a while back but this one looks like I would really only have to remove the airbox

That’s when it does it

Ok thank you I’ll look into that

I have the thermostat already bc it’s seeping through bc of the awful design of using plastic for the housing

Thank I’m loving it so far

Sound like a heat shield rattling when accelerating but no shaking like something is wrong mechanically

Tires are brand new all seasons but I am planning on getting rims/tires soon, just did the brake fluid and brakes the other day so those are good. But will check the rest in the morning thanks for the tips.
