The purpose of an air flow sensor in ANY car is to measure the air coming into the intake of the engine and communicate this to the ECU (engine control unit) so the EFI (electronic fuel injection) knows how much fuel to deliver to the combustion chamber.
Right next to the air filter.
My 2000 Echo had a similar problem. It turned out to be a bad Mass Air Flow Sensor chip, making the car run to rich, and in turn making the engine light come on.
where is the mass air flow sensor on a toyota camry with a 2.2 4 cyli nder
where is the air flow sensor on a 1997 tacoma
The air flow sensor is located inside the air box of a 1998 Toyota Camry LE. To replace the unit the air box screws must be unmounted and the sensor disconnected.

Mass air flow sensor is located in the intake pipe connecting the air filter box with the throttle body.
Usually V6 has a MAF sensor. 4 cylinder does not have it.
