Is/was the car sluggish getting up to speed?

It COULD be a MAF. Unplug it and drive it. See if the car behaves differently. That would be an easy check and pretty instant. I know when my MAF went south, the car perfromed terribly, loss of power and then would fall flat on it's face when in the upper RPM range.

Guess I'd look for little things first before allowing anyone to tear into anything.

I know, it doesn't really explain the noises you are hearing.

Good luck and I'd get it into someone's hands that knows the PD.
