need help i got 460 problems?

i have a 1997 f250 hd 7.5L automatic 4x4, when i bought the truck it had a k&n air filter. i bought a socalled chip that is supposed to hook up to the mass air flow sensor but, i cant find the maf sensor no where nor where the plug should be. can you run this model without this or did it even have one?
i will say the truck on one tank will really perform good but bad gas milage, the other tank is hard to start when cold and spitts and sputters under a load if you try to take off fast, but gets decent gas milage.Any thoughts on whats going on with my truck would greatly be appreciated......

Unless it was a California Truck it never had a MAF sensor.
You have a MAP sensor instead.
And get rid of the K&N air filter.
