Shows lean. Every time this happens I cleans the mas sensor and it’s good for about 4-6 tanks. Thinking it might be time to change it. Thoughts? Texas has has a lot of ethanol.

Almost everybody has lots of ethanol. It isn't your problem.

Provide explicit details like codes (as mentioned) and your vehicle specifics. We ain't psychic.

Lean conditions can also be caused by a vacuum leak.

That's okay, you're still welcome in "The Neighborhood."
At the back of the upper intake there is a rubber elbow that supplies vacuum to the PCV system. This elbow is a known issue for cracking and causing a vacuum leak.

I’ll just change it as well. I’ve changed out most of the rubber now.
