Problems with AEM intake
I'm not an expert on the PCM to get into detail, but it uses measurements from the MAF for various tasks and no screens can generate sporadic readings (maybe someone can explain better).
Trying to think of other issues experienced with the AEM... did you verify that the VFAD nipple behind the throttle body is still plugged?
The screens generally don't induce problems across the MAF (unless they are damaged).

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
