Hey, I bought a 95 Dodge Stealth RT and was wondering where I should start. I already changed the oil on it. Just wondering where a good start would be. Thanks!

Auto or manual? miles? any issues?

How many miles are on it? I replaced the usual fluids. Engine oil, transmission fluid, i flushed the coolant. Check the belts and make sure they dont look worn. Find out when the last service was done. you dont want the timing belt going out on you. have fun dude

The first thing you do, is take that nauseating monstrosity of a spoiler off the hatch, and sell it back to Boeing.

Following said removal and sale, follow the advice of others, and check the engine over. Definitely check the timing belt for the slightest imperfection before even starting it again, keep tabs on your oil, flush things out, check your tie rod ends, tire wear, etc etc.

Welcome to 3Si, and enjoy your Stealth!

Most important if it has 117k on it and it hasn't been done yet, do the 120k maintenance. Timing belt, water pump, and oil pump are the big ones there. And that isn't a suggestion, that is a must do. If you do decide to put that off, research bent valves before you do.
