8 DTC codes at once, Check light on
2009 V6 Conv. Codes thrown below, car runs ok, idles a little rough, sputters a bit at slow speeds then picks up ok, over 40MPH no issues. Have checked fuses and other obvious things, looked for damaged/missing/frayed wires - sensors, under hood and under car, nothing obvious. Checked MAF sensor, looks clean and connected, air filter very clean no obstructions. HELP

Huh. 
I would not have thought this would work... but you can plug all those into Google and do a search. This is the result.
The causes I've seen are bad ground, a nasty short, or a fried PCM.
This might best be a 'take it to the dealer' thing. I would highly suggest it, anyway. Too many codes being thrown at once, and while some are related, that Mass Air one (P0102) seems very odd considering the rest.
I'm sure the scary that is paying a dealer to fix it is something out there, but honestly, you can shotgun and throw things at it, taking a whole lot of time to figure it out, maybe even take it to shade tree where you'll spend a bunch more money and they not fix it, and then *finally* in frustration take it to the dealer where you'd spend less time and less money overall than all that other huey.
Case in point: My Mark VIII started to run like absolute *CRAP*. Took it to a local mechanic, they kept it for a week. They put a new battery in, chased all kinds of *absolutely* not the right thing. Spend $500 in the labor and battery... no fix.
Took it to the dealer. $350 later (for an $850 total) and they'd replaced the valve springs that broke, causing the problem. Two days, done.
If I'd taken it to the dealer, I'd not have spend the extra time and money having someone chase it, nor my chasing it previous for a day.
If that helps in your decision. Oh, and by the way, welcome to the forums!
