Is the filter oiled? If it is that is most likely your problem. Your car is throwing the MAF code. Get a non-oiled filter and get the ecu cleared.

I doubt its an oiled filter issue seeing as most people here run K&N and injen CAI's without issue. I would look for a leak or loose clamp . Is it possible that the maf is installed upside down or not tight? I ran a K&N drop in / airbox mod for over a year without issue , it would have to be way over oiled to cause a problem. How much vacuum are you pulling on the gage at idle?

did you reset your computer by unhooking the battery for a little while so that it can recalibrate the air fuel ratio

sounds like a loose connection somewhere. i'd go check all your clamps and the maf.
