The mass air flow (MAF) sensor for a 1987 Oldsmobile Calais is typically located between the air filter and the throttle body in the intake air duct. However, it's worth noting that many vehicles from this era may not have a MAF sensor, as they often used a different method for measuring air intake. If your specific model has one, it will be found in that section of the intake system. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for precise locations and specifications.
on the black pipe leading to the air box its square and clipped
The "mass air flow" sensor would be located in the snorkel between the air filter box and the throttle body.
Must remove the throttle air intake hose from throttle body. Then disconnect the wiring and remove the sensor and spray with mass air flow sensor cleaner.
mass air flow sensors are generally located in the air passage between the air filter and the intake manifold.
AnswerIt probably needs a tuneup.check your mass air flow meter
Right where the intake hose attaches to the engine, between the bellowed tube and the intake manifold thing.

Doubtfull, there was not many bikes in 1987 that were fuel injection. If it has carbs it wont need mass air flow meter as the fuel is mixed in the carb, fuel injection spits the fuel directly into the cyl in which case you need air flow sensor to ensure correct fuel/air mixture.
In the Oldsmobile Alero, the mass air flow (MAF) sensor is typically located in the intake air duct, just before the throttle body. It is positioned between the air filter and the engine intake to measure the amount of air entering the engine. To access it, you may need to remove the air cleaner assembly. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions and diagrams.
It does not use a mass air flow sensor.It does not use a mass air flow sensor.
It doesn't have a mass air flow sensor.It doesn't have a mass air flow sensor.
the mass air flow sensor detects the flowing of mass air into the engine while the mass air flow meter detects the amount of mass air flowing into the ingine.
