I have an 1990 huundai excel with 72,000 miles (original) and in the past few weeks I have noticed a conciderable problem, basically, I have replaced plugs, wires, and most of the electrical system, I have noticed the car wants to sputter and/ or buck, and its not just at one particular time, it doesnt seem to matter, when its just started, running for a while, at a light, or what have you, could this be due to the MAF (mass overflow sensor) if so, where would this sensor be located?

Hi:
It's hard to tell if that is the problem. Is the check engine light on? Also, have you checked fuel pump pressure? Here is a how to video:

Let me know what you find. Also, look and listen for vacuum leaks.
