Hello Earl,

These codes have to do with the MAF sensor, did you try a new part? I would not try to clean it because once we get these codes cleaning will not help. I would get a new one.

P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected: This code suggests that multiple cylinders in your engine are misfiring.

P0102 - Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit Low Input: This code indicates a problem with the Mass Air Flow sensor or its circuit.

P0113 - Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor 1 Circuit High Input: This code signifies that the Intake Air Temperature sensor is reporting a higher-than-normal voltage.

P0100 - Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Malfunction: This is a general code for a problem with the Mass Air Flow sensor or circuit, similar to P0102.

Here is the location of the sensor so you can change it out then clear the codes. Also make sure there are no leaks between the throttle body and MAF sensor. Note: the MAF sensor can only be installed in one direction. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
