The fuel distributor meters the basic injection quantity to the individual engine cylinders. The fuel distributor uses the position of the air flow sensor plate as a measure of the amount of air drawn in by the engine. The position of the plate is transmitted to the control plunger by a lever.
Even with the increased air flow, the AFM will see it and adjust the mixture accordingly. But I guess it is possible that it can't compensate enough. Installing the correct air filter will determine this.
It's also possible that if something got stuck between the sensor plate and AFM body, that would cause the engine to run rich, which is what yours sounds like it is.
