and the belt tensioner thinggy, maybe the alternator just incase and the fan blower motor it goes out randomly. and the ICV needs cleaning. i'm sure i could make a longer list, give me time,

exhaust cam position sensor (still orig.)
windshield washer pump
I can't remember if you can see it with all the crap still on ....... you may be able to see if if you look under the disa and to the left of the icv...

It is behind the icv and throttle body under the intake manifold.



And it will look like this if it is bad....
