On the 2002 Nissan Xterra the mass air flow sensor is located in the left rear of the engine compartment, in the intake air duct, to the right of the air cleaner. Your Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF Sensor) is a piece of technology within Your engine which tells Your car's computer how much air is entering the engine. This is important as it allows Your engine to regulate its performance and change the intake of air to keep Your engine running in its best condition.You can drive Your vehicle with a bad mass air flow sensor for a while, but it is not advisable to continue doing so for a long time even if Your car can still run and that is because, Ignoring Your car MAF sensor problem can escalate beyond just the Mass air flow sensor problem to a more severe engine problem.
