Clean the maf sensor unit to start with, go and buy a can of cleaner from a auto shop the same as you should have done for the throttle body and do it yourself.
If you are not sure type into google," how to clean the maf sensor unit. "

Yeh just cleaned the maf made no difference at all is hard cause the code coming up just says misfire no specifics and ideas on what else could be?

Wasn't aware of the codes.
Mine did the same, showed misfire and traction control fault as well, turned out to be bad cells in battery.
You could try to fully charge your battery take it for a drive and see if that makes a difference. 
How many ks does it have and when did it start happening after sitting a while, after putting it new fuel, there are literally heaps of things that can cause a misfire and without proper diagnostics it a matter of trial and error to rule it out.

Start with the usual suspects, spark plugs, coils, injectors, loose connections, bad fuel.
