          I'd suggest never using those smilies again, then getting some spelling lessons.

              Timing belt+tensioner is a must, even if the last guys said he just replaced it. While your in there you might as well replace the waterpump and thermostat.

              I would check the guibo to make sure it is in good shape and replace if needed.
              I would also make sure the car is idleing at about 650-700 rpm to make sure you do not have a vaccum leak.
              Other than that you just have to wait and see if there are other issues. The link above is very useful if you need something.

                          A good set of spark plugs, cap, and rotor are always a good idea too, especially if they haven't been done in a long time. Plugs at the very least.
