Power loss at over 3000 revs in Vectra

My Vectra has been a great workhorse but now when accelerating hard the power fails at around 3000 revs. I have been advised it could be the air mass indicator that has failed. Could this be so?

Could be. Could also be a blocked EGR. Not a blocked DPF because doesn't have one.
