The coolest thing was he didn't even charge me!
He spent like 20minutes going through stuff before coming to the conclusion the O2 sensor *might* be damaged even though it is giving a reading (I already assumed this as it had 15,000 miles worth of oil leaking through the valve stem seals).
Then he said its the fuel distributor.
As you guys said, his shop has a comfortable lounge area and I saw the plaque on the wall
Next time I am heading north I'll probably stop by and give him a bottle of wine or something nice like that.
I will for sure be going to him as well for any problems that are not DIY!
