    I spent another 30 mins with sister on the phone - you have to understand how difficult it is to get her to explain something. Its not a clunk - its a light vibration she felt through the shifter/steering wheel. O2 sensor? I still do not buy it. Guy says the car has no power and feels like it wants to stall. I am thinking MAF sensor.

    NFW to diagnose it like this Jon. Sounds like it's just running rough from here.
    Probably another failed nikasil motor.
    Just kidding.

    Jon, send your sister here http://www.kormanfastbmw.com/

    I just happened to have bought my car from Winston-Salem earlier this year. And when the previous owner of my car wanted good non-dealer work he took it there and they took proper car of him. In fact they fixed a thing or two that Flow BMW had screwed up on the car while they were fixing it.

    The guy ...

    What does your sister say about the power? She's the one that's been driving this car for years ... she'll know if it feels like it has no power.

    Well she and the guy both say the car wants to stall off a standing stop. It's screaming MAF to me - not O2's

    O2's are usually a check engine light constantly. She said she saw a CEL for like 5 seconds, then it went out.

    could also be a vacuum leak or a fuel delivery problem.
