Purchased a '97 Civic Sedan need some general info...

I bought this car for my girl...

The car has about 170k miles on it and it has an auto tranny, what kind of maintenance should I look into?

What are the common problems with EKs?

TIA

Also replace the entire distributor if it is the original.

Thanks guys, I thought there would be more things that would go wrong. I guess I'm just use to driving Volkswagens LOL.

I'm starting to love these things
