What would you do??

A map sensor, or mass airflow sensor tells your engines computer what volume of air is coming in the engine. Your engine's computer uses this and other information to adjust timing. Even if this sensor is bad, your engine will still run. If your map sensor is bad it will throw a check engine light, and your engine may run a little differently, but it won't cause it to stop running. The computer goes into a "safe" mode when it doensn't get a reading from the sensor allowing you to drive it to a repair shop.

where is the oil crankcase located? i got this engine treatment and it says to pour it into the oil crankcase?

Seems to me that if you have a problem with the engine not firing, you may have a bad ignition coil, fouled plugs, or some other problem. I would look elsewhere.

can a bad brake booster trigger check engine light. or would it be more likely a brake switch?

I hope this information helps, and if you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.

Where do you recommend to fix a suspension problem?

a crankshaft sensor tells the plugs & fuel injectors when to fire.
it is located at the back ,bottom of the motor,and fits into a hole
in the engine. it is about 6 inches long & round.(about the size of a quarter or half dollar. be very careful trying to remove as it can break off in the motor & then you HAVE to take it to a shop . use
plenty of carb cleaner and gently twist until it breaks loose. cost about 20-30 dollars.
