Fuel Filter, 02 Sensor, Spark plugs+wires, Oil, Oil filter, new belts, New radiator if the OEM one is not functional (aint broke, dont fix it) New fluids in every fluidized area possible.(master cylinders, transmission, rear end)

Replace all drive train parts (wheel bearings, brakes, suspension)

I work at a Firestone, and we have a injector cleaner that works okay.
It will run a bit funny for about a week or so after the cleaning, but after that Ive notice a huge difference in smoothness.
It revs beautifully now.

Check all of your OMP lines make sure they aren't brittle and that oil is flowing through them. I like to mix in 2 stroke oil in my gas just for added protection.

I hear that the S4 OMP never fails so 2 stroke probably isn't necessary but it makes me feel better when I'm into the gas.
