Fern, I believe you mean the Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF). It is normally found in the fresh air intake plastic/rubber hoses attached to the air filter box, on yours it may be in the part of air filter box. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

No picture sorry, but just after air filter is a large round tube and there will be wires and sensor attached to side of that tube. That is your MAF (Mass Air Flow sensor)
These are high dollar parts. The first thing I would do is look for vacuum leaks. Then I would remove the sensor and clean it with break clean, this doesn't leave a residue. the mass air flow sensor is between the air filter housing and the engine. it it a fairly large sensor. When you clean it don't use a brush on it. Just spray the inside of it both ways at the part that sticks down. I have not replaced a MAF sensor. Everytime the code comes up it is a vacuum leak or the sensor is just contaminated. But they are an electrical part and I know they can go bad. Try this first a $10.00 fix compared to $200.00
The mass flow sensor on the 1999 intrigue is along the intake tube right
after the air filter intake housing. Loosen the two clamps that hold the
MAF sensor between the Air filter box cover and air intake tube,
disconnect the wire leads at the MAF sensor connection and remove the
MAF. Note it's uncommon for the MAF sensor to go bad and 95% of the
time, cleaning it with MAF sensor with MAF cleaner will fix any problem
it may of had to trigger the DTC codes.
Start with trying to clean it first just by following the instruction on
the MAF cleaner. This should save you time and money to get your Intrigue
running 100% again soon.
Good luck and thank you for using Fixya.
MAF stands for mass air flow sensor, this is used to tell the computer how much air is entering the engine, check the air filter,and clean the sensor with CRC mass air flow cleaner, with engine off. hope this helps,let me know Ray
Very easy for the Mass Air Flow Sensor....it is in the duct between the throttle body and the air filter box. Just unclamp the tube and remove the old and replace with the new.
