The mass airflow (MAF) sensor in a 1998 Toyota Camry is located in the intake tube, just before the throttle body. It looks like a small, cylindrical device with a wire or wires inside. The wires measure the amount of air flowing into the engine, which is then used by the engine control unit (ECU) to calculate how much fuel to inject.
Here is a more detailed description of the MAF sensor's location:
1. Open the hood of the car.
2. Locate the air intake tube, which is a large, black tube that connects the air filter housing to the throttle body.
3. The MAF sensor is located on the intake tube, just before the throttle body. It is usually held in place by two screws.
4. The MAF sensor has a small, electrical connector on the end of it.

Note: The MAF sensor may be located in a different location on some 1998 Toyota Camrys. If you cannot find the MAF sensor in the location shown above, consult the vehicle's repair manual.
Symptoms of a Bad MAF Sensor
If the MAF sensor is not working properly, it can cause a number of problems with the engine, including:
* Engine stalling
* Rough idling
* Poor acceleration
* Increased fuel consumption
* Check engine light may be illuminated
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is possible that the MAF sensor may be faulty. You should have the sensor tested by a qualified mechanic to confirm if it needs to be replaced.
