I don't know about you, but I have a simple checklist.
- Change all the fluids in every place that has them (oil, coolant, trans, rear end, etc.) making a point to observe what's in the rear so we don't get victimized with yet another pointless "what gears do I have" and "do I have a posi" post
- Do a brake job
- Replace the plugs, wires, cap, & rotor
- Fix any leaks
- Start troubleshooting whatever is still wrong with it
- Go to work on beauty items like lining up the fenders and hood and such, and de-rattling the interior, fixing water leaks, and other trim stuff

any (or all) of the above-- agree completely with the list of "gotta-do firsts"
methocically work the list and the problem will reveal itself more often than not.
don't overlook the fuel delivery in a rush to judgement either-- low fuel volume will show itself only when the demand is high (higher RPM)
as for the list: can you really de-rattle the interior and stop water leaks?
I guess on Maslov's pyramid I haven't reached that level yet!
