   By any chance, is there a rattling or knocking coming from low down (near 
the crank) on the front of the engine?  This sounds like what my old '89 went 
through before I found the crank key had rolled.  Maybe it didn't happen to 
this car, but if the dealer did the 60k, they might not have paid a lot of 
attention to getting the pulley all the way on correctly, and likely didn't use 
a new key, as they've been discontinued.
   That's an odd set (to me, at least) of codes to be coming up.  If the engine 
is thrashing around with a rolled key, you will get oddball rich/lean errors, 
the knocking will be so loud that the KS won't register, and the cylinder 
balance test will be totally off.  No idea on the MAF, though.  Do you have a 
known good one you can try?
   Also, check the computer ground.  Twice.
