The M.A.S. is in the top of the metal tube between the air filter box and the intake manifold. It will have a wire connected to it and it is held in by 2 screws. This is an easy replacement and should take no more than 5 to 10 minutes, assuming you are taking your time. I changed mine in about 3 minutes.
After consulting several sources, someone finally called a local Buick dealer who informed me that a 1990 LeSabre does NOT have a map sensor, it was the Mass Air Flow sensor that needs replacing.
The 1997 Buick LeSabre mass airflow sensor is located on the outside of the air intake housing. The sensor can be found on the right hand side of the air intake housing.
directly on top of the throttle body intake

Where is the MAF in 91 Buick century
Get an engine computer code read out . Could be a fuel sensor problem or even a mass air flow sensor. It could let you down if you don;t get it repaired.
Always towards the fuel injectors.
If the engine works well (starting, idling, etc.) other than hesitating when the gas pedal is depressed, try checking/cleaning the Mass Air Flow sensor with CRC Mass Air Flow sensor cleaner (or similar product) and/or check the throttle cable linkage for slack.
Aprox $100 for the MAF sensor only.
no MAP sensor, just mass air flow sensor
You buy a new egr valve for about $300.00 or take the old one apart and clean it. It fixed my 1990 3800 lesabre.
