I believe part of your sensor is missing.

Might be time to replace.

Look for another MAF, that one is garbage.

If you want a pic of what it should look like, I'll take one when I get home from the beach.

Stock MAF with screens in place. Keep them, they are there to improve laminar flow, for a better measurement.

Looking through the screen at ONE piece sensor wire.

I am surprised it didn't throw a maf code ?!?
Yeah the maf sensor wires are very sensitive, yes keep the screen on any bits of dust or water at full throttle can do damage to an unprotected maf.

Here is hoping you dont have to open the hood until the next oil change once the new maf is fitted
