spark plus, plug wires, cap and rotor, water pump/timing belt, fuel filter, radiator hoses. kinda depends on your mileage and what you're due for.

An old school tuneup was usually
Spark Plugs
Wires
Cap
Coil
Card Tune
Valve adjustment
Fuel filter
Alot of other crap.

newer cars it all depends on the service interval. Take a peak at the factory manual, it will tell you what needs to be done at what mileage.
