Unhappy 2011 camaro LT MAF sensor change help?

I have a 2011 LT about 59k on the dash, the other day I started experiencing problems. The check engine light is on my car shakes at idle, and slow acceleration when in drive. I had the CHeck engine light code read and got 17 of them all random misfires ex. P0300,P0306 and etc and a Mass Air Flow sensor code.. I just replaced the sensor and it's still doing the same thing., any thoughts on might be wrong and where to go next??

If you have a Cold Air Intake, check the hoses to see if they are loose. You will hear a slight hiss if this is the problem

I have a spectre cold air intake, before having this problem I always heard a whistling noise when accelerating. I will check the hoses tho, I have a ? After changing the sensor was there anything else I needed to do? I know the computer prob was reading the old sensor I'm wondering if putting a new one in that it would pick up on the new sensor

Disconect your battery for about 15 minutes or so to clear the codes in the computer and then u should be fine.

Your throttle body sensor could be going bad.
