Default 2.9 cologne air box?

May be one for Twinturbo/Robin but does any body know if there is an air mass/flow sensor on the underside of an EFI 2.9 cologne air box? I've seen the twin meters side by side on the Sierra but my engine came from a 1994 Scorpio and I'm thinking the reason it does not idle properly is because the system is not complete?

P.S...

Check the Lambda sensor and clean the idle speed control valve.

Ah thanks for that I was looking for a part that was never fitted in the first place. I've cleaned the idle valve so I'll pull the MAP and treat it to a pair of new lambda sensors.

Sod the LEZ it's gone from 70hp to 130hp I've taken it around the yard and out in the damp with 50lbs in the twin rears and although it weighs 2000kg it drifts round large roundabouts like a bastard
