MAF SENSOR, CAN IT BE CLEANED? HOW TO TELL IF IT IS GOING BAD 850

HELLO LIST

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE MAF SENSOR ON MY CAR. SOMETIMES MY CAR SEEMS LIKE IT IS SURGING OR NOT GETTING FUEL WHEN I GO TO PASS ANOTHER CAR ON THE FREWAY. WHEN I PUNCH IT TO GO AROUND A CAR AT LIKE 70 MPH IT WILL HESITATE SOME AND SUGRE, THEN IT WILL PICK UP AND GO REAL GOOD LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT.

I WAS TOLD BY A VOLVO REPAIR/PARTS GUY THAT POSSIBLY MY MAF SENSOR IS GOING BAD.

DO THEY GO BAD OR JUST QUITE WORKING ALL TOGETHER? I CLEANED THE WIRE CONNECTION ON THE SENSOR AND OF COURSE THIS DID NOT HELP.

LAST WEEK I CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND AIR FILTER INCASE IT JUST NEEDED A TUNE UP. HOW ABOUT THE FUEL SYSTEM, MAYBE I SHOULD CHANGE MY FUEL FILTER?

ANYWAY ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I AM GOING TO CHECK THE DIST CAP NAD ROTOR THIS WEEKEND, I BELIEVE THEY ARE ORIGINAL PARTS AS WELL AS THE IGNITION HARNESS IS ORIGINAL. THE CAR RUNS SO SMOOTH THAT I THOUGHT THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM, BUT I WILL INVESTIGATE THE IGNITION SYSTEM MORE THIS WEEKEND.

THANKS FOR THE HELP.
