Problems with AEM intake
Hey has anyone had any problems with there AEM intake. When I data logged mine the MAF readings came out all chopy as they were inclining. Like the voltage would raise like 20 then drop 10 the up 20 then drop 10 and so on. Any help. thanks!

For the record I never yelled at you 
Between you and Jeff (who answered my emails almost immediately), my issue was taken care of quickly.
Looking back at my install I was in a hurry to get my intake back on so that I could enjoy my new ignition. I never thought that those screens could be dislodged so easily.

I was panicing left and right and had to leave work early so that I could fix my "grown-up kids" toy.
Thank God you and Jeff are great customer service reps!
You can both take Saturday and Sunday off!

Remove the MAF housing from the intake.
Use MAF or electrical contact cleaner (can buy both at the local Auto store) and give the MAF wires a generous spray.
Let air dry before reinstalling (doesn't take long to evaporate).
Remember, the MAF is NOT the brown teardrop looking wire... that is the IAT sensor.
Up inside the housing you'll see two resistor wires, THAT is the MAF sensor

No there is a filter on the tip at the very bottom but when the pipe breaks down into smaller peaces closer to the engine the screens sit in between two of the pipes. They come out easily.

I had the AEM for 2 years and never knew those screens just came out.
And just to verify the basics, you have the two couplers with screens just before the MAF housing and the reducer hump coupling at the very front?
Have you also tried cleaning the MAF with contact cleaner?
