In a word, no.
Your car has "hydraulic" lifters, and are not adjustable.
If you have a lifter that is "clattering" which would make it sound as though it needed adjusting, likely the problem is a hydraulic lifter, or the camshaft, or that a connecting part that has failed.
That part, whichever it is, needs replacement.
It is probably that the failed part, when matched with a new one, is easy to see it has worn down or worn out.
Some Oldsmobiles also had a problem with "noisy" lifters as a result of sludge in the engine from insufficient oil changes.
If this is your problem, get an additive for the motor oil that will "wash" the inside of the motor.
That will also require several oil changes and oil filters in the "cleaning:" process.
God bless your efforts.

Where is the throttle *****, to adjust the idle in an 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue

There is no provision for adjusting idle , the PCM - engine computer controls idle by IAC - idle air control valve . If you mess up the base idle the computer will set codes an not run very good . Go on you tube an check out some videos on IAC operation .

CLEANING THE MAF SENSOR ON MY '99 INTRIGUE

You don't clean them, you get a new one. Usually if it's the MAF, it'll start and die, start and die. If your's is stalling, it'll be the idle air control valve, or the fuel filter, or the idle control system, or a vacuum leak at the intake or vacuum hoses. Good luck.
