2017 Kia Sorento MAF or MAP sensor?

I have a 2017 Kia Sorento 2.4 lx. I'd like to know whether if it has a MAF sensor or a MAP sensor and it's location (picture if possible) so I can first try to clean it before replacing it.

The issue I had was infrequent. I started the car and it started shaking, I pressed the gas all the way in and it wouldn't respond, then it turned off. When I started the car again, everything was back to normal.

Better to leave the MAP seldom alone then. When I scan the car, it shows no trouble codes. I wonder if the issue is related to the spark plugs. The car has around 115k miles.
Not sure how you can expect an answer to that question when you haven't yet described the issue/symptoms.
It's in my first post. The issue I had was infrequent. I started the car and it started shaking, I pressed the gas all the way in and it wouldn't respond, then it turned off. When I started the car again, everything was back to normal.
How's your oil condition, thinking maybe variable camshaft stuck. The CVVT failure codes (DTC's) sometimes take 60 seconds of failure to set. R U turning engine off rapidly after running rough, or giving it some time to clear? Just wild guessing at this point. In any case post #2 s/b the way to go...
Hi bobdec, thanks for your input. I recently bought the car and immediately replaced the oil, oil filter and air filter. I put 5w-20 full synthetic oil (Castrol). Next time it happens I will give it some time in order for the computer to catch the DTC. The engine running rough has only happened twice. The first time it happened, my wife turned it off immediately and the second time, i pressed the gas pedal expecting it would respond but it just stopped running.
