what should I do or not do to my new FC with 121K miles on it?

I am going to change the fluids and all the usual tune up stuff but I also want to try to get it up to it maximum running potential.
I do not think the country bumpkins who have had it did anything to it and it is all stock.

I mainly want to clean out the insides of the engine and make sure it is not full of crap from previous owners.

I am going to put fresh oil and tranny fluid and coolant.

anything I can do that is safe and will not dislodge a giant piece of carbon and blow a seal?

anything I SHOULD NOT DO to screw it up?

car has 121K miles and it runs but needs a tune up. guy messed up the idle because the AC would cause it to stall out. when the AC is not on the car idles fine. so he says.

I guess I need to clean out the BAC and re-install and check the tps and adjust the idle right. I am also changing the plugs....


this is the 3rd FC I am going to get back to running right in the last yr and I want to make sure I dont do anything wrong because if I kill this one my wife will kill me.
Both of the last two ran OK but when I got them right they ran 100% better.

I need this one to run right so I can sell my 90 GXL automatic which runs fine. that is the only reason I bought this new car. becasue it is 5spd and leather inside.

thanks
