MAF sensor trouble

Is anyone here who has encountered this kind of trouble? My c240 2003 would hesitate, stall, lose power and at shut down after some minutes drive. I pulled some codes for cylinder misfire 1,2,5, then also maf sensor switch A, throttle pedal sensor while the pedal works fine. I installed new set of plugs and the coils were checked. My problem is that for the past 6 months, i have been facing maf sensor trouble. Each time i installed an aftermarket oem MAF, it cuts down on the next day. The code will come back. I am afraid to buy new one as i think it will cut down. Is there anything which could be responsible for the failing maf sensor or am i doing something wrong? I got it used from a second owner. Someond suggest that i change the brainbox and ignition, brainbox was changed in the past. What more can i do now please help with suggestion and your past experience.experienc Here are the codes i pulled this morning.
