That's it. I knew someone would have the terms down better than I. When I planned and executed my test, Sentra-SE and others brought exactly this point up. The MAF sensor, it seemed, had been tested and shown to interfere (or at least that's the theory as to why the tests failed). The MAP sensors, such as on my car, had not been fully tested yet. That's part of why I thought my test a useful thing on this site. If I remember correctly, the MAF sensor has been standard on these cars for a while now. Definitely research it.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
