Generic Code description from: http://www.obd-codes.com/p0104 Symptoms

You will likely not notice any serious drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a general decrease in power or sluggishness.
Causes

A code P0104 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

  • The mass air flow (MAF) circuit is incomplete (broken / frayed wire, etc.)
  • There is an air leak in the intake system
Possible Solutions

The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. Then start with the cheapest, easiest repair procedures:

  • Verify that the Mass Air Flow Sensor wiring is connected properly and that there are no broken / frayed wires.
  • Inspect for any air leaks near the MAF sensor.
  • Check the voltage of the MAF sensor (refer to a repair manual for vehicle specific information)
  • Replace the MAF sensor.

Other MAF sensor circuit DTC trouble codes are P0101, P0102, P0103,PO104.You may not notice any serious drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a general decrease in power or sluggishness.

  • The MAF may be disconnected, or a wiring connection may be bad
  • the MAF hot wire that is in the air flow maybe dirty
  • The MAF sensor may be faulty
you can clear the code and see if it returns if you have not tried that yet. then try the following.Verify that the Mass Air Flow Sensor wiring is connected properly and that there are no broken / frayed wires.Unplug and reconnect the MAF wiring harness.Check the voltage of the MAF sensor (refer to a repair manual for vehicle specific information). if this indicates the MAF sensor then replace it.

Po104po105po1o6 misfires

First the po 171 is that bank 1 is running lean, as far as the codes po104-106, i think you made a mistake, the mifire codes for cylinders 4-6 would be po304, po305 and po306. the fiurst thing to check would the fuel preasure.

The reason i say fuel pressure is due to the misfiring and lean codes.
If the fuel pressure tests okay then check for intake manifold gasket leak, this is done with a smoke machine or with some throtle body cleaner spray. you will neeed to start the engine and spary around the intake gasket area as you watch for engine speed change.
A scan tool may be needed to watch fuel trim and o2 readings if the intake leak is small.
The other problem could be sparkplug failure or bad coil and last sparkplug wires if this is not a coil on plug system.
Acoil on plug system would be a system with out sparkplug wires going to each sparkplug, instead there is a separte coil on each sparkplug.
If this is a coil on plug ignition system i would start there and swap coils with the other cylinders and see if the misfire moves to those cylinder if it does then bad coils. hope this is helpful , good day
