A Maf and Vaf are one and the same. However, the P0303 is not a MAF sensor DTC error code. It is a misfire detected on Cylinder #3.

You may need new spark plugs and/or wires or have a clogged/defective fuel injector on cylinder #3.

BTW - Stick with the AC Delco OEM Platinum or Iridium spark plugs to include ignition wires. Whatever you do, do not use Bosch spark plugs.
