Engine problems

I was hoping to kill two birds with one stone here,
My friend whom drives a 94 540I Bmw, ran out of gas today and now he is having problems accelerating
by this i mean he will rev high rpms but the car will accelerate at an obscenely slow rate, along with this his check engine light came on, i was thinking it was his tps, but im not completely sure. any ideas?

and secondly a couple of months ago my car stopped working due to driving it with no oil, now if it does turn on it doesnt accelerate well and makes a loud clunking noise, i know this isnt much to go off of but i was hoping for ideas.
