STILL Having Starting Problems 850 1994

I've been experiencing many of the same starting problems that have been discussed on the board for the last few months. Usuallly the problem happens when driving for short distances to go to the grocery or another errand. Return from the store, and guess what, the car will not start.

All right - I've replaced the battery. A couple weeks ago, I had the car checked at the shop and they can't seem to figure it out. But they did replace the Transmission Position Switch, believing that to be the culprit. I disagreed with them because from what I understand if that is malfunctioning, then the car won't even turn over? Regardless, last night the car wouldn't start again. I gave the shop a list of things to check including the ignition wires (which they said were fine), distributor cap and plugs.

I've been reading a lot about the Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor and the quick test to see if that is causing the problem. My question is: where is this located on my 94 850 Turbo wagon? And what do I disconnect?

Any other thoughts on this?
