I replaced a failed power steering pump on my uncle's 2004 BMW 325ci last night

Most likely a vacuum leak. Check for a hose unplugged.

Could be a cracked or misaligned intake hose allowing more air into the engine

It was the mass airflow sensor. If I unplug it, the car runs great. It's about $70 to replace.

That doesn't sound right. The MAF is metering fuel based on how much air it
