Clean mass air flow?

[Deadduck]

I have a hotwire mass air flow I have had dirty mud water down intake witch has coated the hot wire block and it is causing a hesitation. This sensor is only 1 year old if that I bought a new genuine one just wondering if i have to spend another $350 on a new one or I can clean it some way.
I have tried crc mass air flow cleaner with no luck multiple times I can un plug sensor and car does not hesitate.

maybe that mud is not soluble with that solvent cleaner
I'd spray it with water (bottle ) with few drops of dish soap inside. (like when looking for vacuum leaks or finding natural gas leaks in a stove)
keep it inverted, intake side to sky.
spray 6 inches away , wait 5min repeat a few times, this will work, in most cases.. for mud..
the follow up with the crc cleaner, repeat a few times
that should get clean.
sounds like you need snorkel.
nice price, suzuki wants $1200 + tax + ship.

Thanks for that will try it I have a snorkel but i had a bolt missing from the lower corner of the air box so that is where it got in have sealed up little hole in the bottom as well

it looks destroyed,(the elements) looks like it was pelted with rocks.
that dirt will wreck a good engine fast.
water can hydralock a cylinder and snap crank or bend the rods..
you need to have a huge air cleaner, to stop that nasty stuff .
