I have had a problem with my MAF getting oily from the K&N on one of my cars. Used to give me lean codes. cleaned it and put a paper filter in and the problem went away. Can't help you with misfires. Does it tell which one or is it giving you codes for all of them?

Were the plugs gapped to spec? How did the plug wires look?

If you go through the trouble of pulling all the plugs, I don't see why you wouldn't replace them...

E plugs were changes to the ngk tr55 plugs like 2months ago. I will check the maf because he has had the k&n air filter in the car for also about a month. What do u recommend cleaning the maf sensor with?

They sell a MAF cleaner in a spray can. also check and make sure all the hose clamps for the intake are tight. That could cause a lean code too.
