DTC lists are also posted on Vortex and Fixx in the sticky posts.
Misfiring at startup could be the coil and or bad plugs or wires. You could wet test the ignition w/ a squirt/spray bottle. It's highly UNLIKELY the MAF is the problem w/ this symptom. (Everyone loves to blame the MAF for everything on these cars.)
The coil pack is also a common weak point on this ignition system. I've replaced quite a few for misfires and having an ignition DTC indicating open circuit that is sporadic in nature. Will look like this if it's sporadic..../sp.
