Ditto that. And would removing an airfilter from this car have any or all of these possible consequences? (1) increased airflow (2) colder air (3) changes in the MAP sensor readings (4) changes in AFR (5) increased pumping losses??? Couldn't this mod at least be part of the problem?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
