Im not familiar with the FRAM washables....but you have to oil those right?? If you use too much oil, it can mist off the the filter and onto the MAF vane... causing your very same symptoms. I would clean your MAF with some MAF cleaner or Brakekleen and use less oil before blowing more cash on another filter.
