Angry MAF Troubles

Hey guys, I put on a CAI a few weeks back. I got a check engine light about two weeks later and it turned out my MAF was dirty. So I got it cleaned up and the codes cleared. This is now two weeks past that and my car just threw another check engine light. What am I doing wrong?

But I had the same problem with mine as well. I cleaned the K&N fliter and put it back in. threw a code and checked the MAF, cleaned it, put it back in and still threw the code. I ended up replacing the MAF in the end.

Too much oil on the K&N CAI's can foul the sensors up.
