I was troubleshooting a friend's car, that was hard to start. Also
lacked power going up steep hills. Checked the usual stuff: ignition,
fuel filter, air filter, exhaust sensors blah blah. The only defect I
found was the honeycomb laminar flow straightener was missing from the
MAF sensor.
I obtained a replacement (cheap Chinesium copycat) and behold, it now
starts fine.
So does the missing honeycomb cause the airflow to be under-estimated?
