Between the air filter and the throttle body. If the large plug is loose you will get a warning on the dash and it will go into limp home mode.

SOURCE: Where is the mass air flow sensor located on a jaguar x-type

hi from the uk the location of mass air flow sensor on x type jag is as follows==it is on the r/h/side of the air filter cover with jaguar embossed on top? this sensor is just prior to the intake hose that connects to the motorised throttle body from filter connections underneath it to unplug and meter is held by two screws ?if memory serves ? may i suggest you remove the large hose and use a little wd40 or similar to clean /lubricate the throttle butterfly in throttle body throat at this point so as to prevent future sticking upsetting of idling ? hope this helps ?

I do not know about a Jag. But the "fail safe engine mode " on my GMC means the Engine Controll Computer has quit working.

2003 be jetta won't go more than 20 mph
Hi there? It sounds like the car is ranning on limp mode. Is the engine managment light on? if so, the air flow meter can cause this simptons. If you disconnect the air flow meter which is located next to the air filter box, it should improve it if it is disconnected, don't worry this will not cause any problems.
If it improves it by disconnecting the air flow meter then you'll need a new air flow meter..
Good luck......

I would like to ask you about a problem I dont get on my own. When the engine is running in 2 000 rpm the motor is changing in rpm constantly! (higher and lower, higher and lower) I have replaced the air...
I suppose its possible both mass air flow sensors were bad but to have failed the same way is not that likely, the part that came to mind on this one would be A throttle position sensor (TPS) located at throttle body (butterfly) and is reostat which tells computer the psition of butterfly opening. when these go out in a specific spot, they will cause speed or rpm fluctuations at bad spot.

Engine stalls when placed under a load
Assuming your Montero does not require a simple tune-up, plugs, cap rotor, wires...) I'd check your fuel pressure, it may be as simple as a plugged fuel filter. If it is fuel related the fuel pump may be failing, pressure regulator may be shot or poor injectors (failing) Another check is your MAF, Mass Air Flow switch. This is located right at the air filter (you unplug it to access the filter) On that SUV you can check computer codes by use of a simple anolog multi meter. Please let me know if this helps or if you need further help.

Thanks,
Tom

What does Failsafe Engine Mode mean? my manual was stolen
Hello! Fail safe mode is when the vehicle's computer detects a serious problem an allows you to "limp" off the road or highway safely.

Fail safe mode on a Jaguar is mainly caused by a dirty and gummed up throttle body. The throttle body on your auto has a protective coating, so you can not use just any cleaner. It requires a throttle body cleaner that states "safe to use with a protective coating". The butterfly valve in the throttle body will actually "stick out". This causes fail safe mode to kick in reducing the amount of power your engine can produce.

Also check the plugs on your ECM (computer) and make sure they are all seated properly.
