Air flow meter or air mass meter

MAF stands for Mass Air Flow. Your MAF meter is located in the inlet snorkle between the air filter housing and the throttle body.

The air mass sensor is located on the left hand side of the engine compartment. Follow the large hose which starts out as plastic down and to the front of the car. you will reach a rubber hose about 4" in diameter. It is attached to the back of the air mass sensor.
They stopped using air flow meters in 1979 (I beleive) Then they switched to what they call a "hot wire air mass sensor".

It is located where the air intake hose from the filter box connects to the engine.

Chrysler does not use a (MAF) Mass Air Flow sensor. They use a MAP ( Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor.

It is located on the intake manifold near where the throttle body bolts to it.

Hi:
The mass air flow sensor is a round sensor that is mounted in the air intake, between the air cleaner box and the engine throttle body.

Could be 3 things

1 EGR valve """The EGR valve helps your car more efficiently and completely burn fuel by recirculating a portion of your exhaust and running it through the combustion process again. This results in a cooler, more complete burn of the fuel which decreases you car's noxious emissions by prohibiting the formation of some harmful gases.""""

2 The lambda sensor needs replacing although, this does not normally cause the car to splutter.

3 The air mass sensor or air mass meter might be oplaying up, this is located on your air box you can clean them first to see if that fix's it. also check all your air pipes are not split or leaking air.

Air mass meters are also commonly referred to as air flow meters. They measure the mass of the air flowing into the engine. The air mass information is necessary to calculate and deliver the right amount of fuel to the engine, the sensor is the wired part of the system connected to the air mass meter.

I hope help you; good luck (rember rated this help)

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 ?
