Default Engine misfire / oiled air flow sensor

I recently cleaned my BMC air filters and believe I may have over oiled because I am getting misfire codes now. It sounds like a common problem is with an oily MAF or MAP sensor which can be easily cleaned, but I can't find any information on its location on the 718 GT4.

Can anyone point me at where to look?

Thanks!

given the cost of the car and the cost of a new BMC filter - I have never bothered 're-oiling' just buy a new set - which is what you'd have to do anyway with OEM paper... YMMV

Does it miss fire when the engine is at operating temperature or just until it gets warmed up?

Yes once its warmed up.

I figured out the part I am showing above is the MAP, so I cleaned it and reinstalled. It sounds like our cars only have MAP now so I think I am good. I also noticed it was quite oily, so I am pretty sure this is the problem.

Ahhh, ok, different than mine which exhibits a stumble under load as it is coming up to operating temperature, once it is fully warmed up the engine run smoothly.
