Default Accord @ 103K miles just finished full tune up..what else

I have four girls under 10 yrs old that ride with me. As such, I keep my car in tip top shape.

Just changed water pump, seal, all belts, O2 sensors, radiator, all fluids, brakes..etc. By the way, I learnt all this from reading in this forum and from TouringAccord.

I was told to change the fuel pump and mass air flow sensor to avoid breaking down on the road. Is there anything that can stop me in my tracks if it breaks? What are your thoughts on replacing these two items? I dont ever want to break down on the way to Las Vegas so I want to replace items that are needing replacment.

thanks guys.

From what I remember accords or maybe even Honda in general are speed density type, and don't even use a MAF. Correct me if I'm wrong Honda guys.

you don't replace sensors just because some one told you to, you replace then when they fail. the fuel pumps are rock solid in those cars and it is rare that they fail........
