Default What first?

Hey everyone, I just picked up my first Lexus! It's a 1995 SC300 with TRAC and heated seats! I'm super excited and I already love it. I have some questions though. What all should I do first as far as preventative maintainence (I can't spell). I noticed the dizzy oring is done and the valve cover gasket so I have those two on order. The timing belt was recently done, so that's fine. I've run seafoam through the intake, gas, and oil. So what else should I be doing? The car was 133xxx.

Lastly, ocassionally my 'TRAC' light will come on the dash (in the tach) and then just turn off. Sometimes though, the 'TRAC', 'TRAC OFF', and CEL will pop on. The CEL reads code 41 (TPS). Would fixing the TPS stop the 'TRAC' light from coming on? I want to make sure it's nothing else. Performance is just fine. Thanks everyone for the help!

RV

P.S.: awesome be part of CL!

Basic, oil change, tune up, top off all the fluids. Balance rotate tires, make sure they have the right pressure in them. Other then that...

One note that I learned, was that the power steering pumps run off automatic trans fluid.... lol....
