I have done engine trans mounts, brake pins with brake replacement, factory pads and rotors. The oem went the distance!
have not replaced steering fluid, radiator hoses.
i do canon filter routine as I am always in the. Car and very aware.
need to do rear diff.
water pump and belt have been done and I inspect visually.
Not familiar with Lamba issue can you elaborate please.
thanks for the info I appreciate your input!

The ECU keeps varying the injectors timings to deliver a perfect air/gas ratio based on load, temperature etc...
These sensors get contaminated, partialy plugged and give lazy response to change. The outcome is lack of power. Engine runs like it is old.
Most people think the "O2" is good until it gets flagged with an ECU code.... it makes your engine too lean until the internal ceramic heater finally blows open.
Exhaust does smell a little rich.
I like the idea of replacing the O2 sensor, inexpensive and
pretty easy to do.
ECU has been replaced too, about 15-18,000 miles ago.
The top end of the motor was redone at approximately 28,000 under warranty.
I also upgraded the plastic turbo tube that runs across the front of the motor with an aluminum model.
I appreciate your input!
