I have had a check engine light for about a week. I went to a auto parts store to have it read and the reader did not give a description. P013C Any help is appreciated. I have already replaced on O2 sensor and I figure it is one of the other three.

P0130 is MAF sensor, I believe, you can try cleaning the sensor and see what happens.

Looks like it might be another O2 sensor:

Is Bank 2 the left side or right side of the car? I am guessing #2 is the aft sensor.

According to Bavarian Autosport, your N62 V8's bank 2 is cylinders 5 - 8 on the left (U.S. driver's) side. The Bentley manual (page 120-2) shows cylinders 1-4 on the right side, and 5-8 on the left side, so the left bank looks like bank #2 to me.

Yeah, sensor 2 sounds like the one after the cat.

HTH, and best of luck!

Ok it is something more serious. Today the light came on and it was flashing and the car was misfiring, badly. I must have bad fuel, bad coil, bad spark plug or ??? I turned the car off counted to 10 and started it again. Now no light or issues. Appointment made for Monday next week.

best1, I just had that happen to me with the scary and dreaded "engine malfunction" message but turning the car off then back on did not help. I had to have the coil for cylinder one replaced and they also replaced all of the spark plugs.
