Default Maf Replacement

Has anybody replaced there maf. I seafoamed my car yesterday and tommorow I am going to replace the O2 sensors, fuel filter, and plug wires.
I was told that the maf going bad could also cause my car to bog down, hesistation, and surging that started few weeks ago and has only gotten worse each time I drive the car. I know it is easy to replace just wondering if anyone has ever had one go bad and what were the symtoms. thanks

Yep I just replaced my MAF the other day. My car was bucking, stalling, losing power, etc.. It works 100% better now.. Even got 438 miles to the tank last fill up.

This is my next step. I just replaced the O2 sensors today and the fuel filter along with the seafoam treatment I did thursday hopefully this will solve my problem. When the car is not bucking (that is exactly the best discricption for what my ta is doing) it runs 110% better. Thanks to all for your input. This was really starting to **** me off.

I am going to try to replace it monday. Funny, I just posted in your thread. If the maf helped a little then try the o2 sensors next. It took my problem to the point that it is almost gone. I hope the new maf takes care of the rest.
