I was told it was a MAP sensor but I can't find that a 1995 has a MAP sensor. The car has a new battery, s tarter and several other new parts.

Good morning,

The stalling could be from the mass air flow sensor but needs to be confirmed.

I attached a picture of the part for you and the location. It is part of the air filter housing.
