paranoid
so i got impulsive and bought a 94 w/ 99k (original motor). now i'm paranoid about the car dying after reading all these threads. any advice for a newbie? does the engine just blow up all the sudden or are there warning signs? i'll continue to search the archives but if anybody go some advice to ease my worries much thanks!

Do the following ASAP
replace the fuel filter
change the coolant
change the oil and filter
replace the air filter
replace the plastic AST with an aluminum one
replace coolant hoses if old
check and replace belts if necessary
use the highest octane gas you can get
do the above and you'll reduce your chances of a catastrophic engine failure.
most engines fail either because of detonation or a leak in the coolant seals. taking the steps above will help prevent those problems.
