The V6's in these cars will always run rough. They're designed to be in fwd cars so go figure.. basic maintinence wise I'd say seafoam it, new o2 sensor, probably needs a new timing chain (mine does and most of our cars do), trans fluid and filter change to name a few.

its like a normal timing chain, but twice as thick, so the chances of it skipping are much less. seafoam is a product that works magical wonders. pour it in your vacuum line and watch the cleaning! do a search on it.
