You don't.
It is important to know the location of all the car parts when owning a car. The mass airflow sensor in a 2001 Olds Alero is towards the back of the engin, near the air intake, under most of the tubes and wiring.Ê
yes it may not run at all
A symptom that the mass airflow sensor is going is that the car has idle, or rpm problems. If your is starting to get inaccurate reads from the airflow sensor, I'll will make improper adjustments to the air/fuel mixture. One way to troubleshoot this is to disconnect the airflow sensor and see if the rpm / idle improves, as this causes the computer to use a default reading because there is no communication with the sensor.

Your mass airflow sensor could be bad or your exaust gas recirculation valve.
Chances are its a bad throttle position sensor or mass airflow sensor.To check the mass airflow sensor simply unplug it & run the car if it acts the same then probably the tps.
Check the Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF Sensor). Either it is dirty or damaged.
i had the same problem ; first my air filter was torn , when i replaced it my car ran better but still not right then i bought CRC mass airflow cleaner and cleaned the mass airflow sensor and now it runs perfect
On my 1998 zx2 it is located on the intake tube after the mass airflow sensor. It points to the front of the car and has two wires coming out of it.
start the car and let it idle while the car is running unplug the mass airflow sensor if the idle does not change then the sensor is probably bad if the idle does change or the engine dies out then it is working so leave it alone cause they arent cheap. A Chrysler Cirrus does not use a maf.
Most cars will not operate without their airflow meters. For example, Holden Commodore (Alloytech engine) You remove the connector to the airflow meter when car is running, engine shutsdown and will produce extensive error codes.
Your car does not have a mass airflow sensor. It does sound like you are getting moisture in some electrical component. The first step would be to check the car for check engine light codes.
