On my caprice it kept throwing a MAF code, then a multiple misfire code, turned out just needed some fuel system cleaner. I had at that point allready replacing the MAF.

A fouled plug caused my MAF fault (P0100) to occur, it can also be caused by a vacuum leak. If you have a DVM with frequency on it you can tap into the MAF and get the frequency reading and see how it compares to accepted value (which can be found through a search).
