Check engine light come on, was told it was MAF sensor or oxygen sensor if not both

Car jerks some times only happens when check engine light is on.
was told could be oxygen sensor or MAF sensor , seems as though light goes off once oil is changed sometimes.

where is Maf sensor located ( mass air flow sensor) where to purchase and how to change do dealer have to reset anything. 2000 max 6speed

thanks for any type of info.

have the code pulled with a diagnostic tester. that way you can pinpoint what is failing instead of just guessing. oil change is probably just a coindence but my guess is the coils. 2k's and early build 2k1 have a very high rate of failure and can cause jerking when the engine misfires. also, are you sure you have a 6 speed in a 2k?
